"Michigan House Republicans blocked a state representative from speaking on the floor on Thursday after she referenced certain parts of female anatomy in a speech on an abortion bill. "Finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but 'no' means 'no,'" Rep. Lisa Brown (D) said to cap her remarks in which she expressed stark opposition to a series of bills regulating abortion, including one that would ban the procedure after 20 weeks unless the woman's life was in danger, according to The Detroit News. House Republicans called the remarks over the line and barred her from participating in a subsequent debate on education...".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks."
From The Young Turks
When people tend to think of political correctness in America, they tend to think of language that may offend minorities (but more likely it just offends far-leftists) that the left-wing (to be kind) in America wants to see banned or go away. But similar with fascism and big government in general, there's left-wing political correctness, but there's also right-wing political correctness that's generally promoted by the so-called Christian-Right in America. And this is the perfect example of that.
Do yourself a favor: never take people seriously who claim to be against big government, even though they want big government in our personal lives. And never take people seriously who claim to be in favor of free speech, but they're only in favor of free speech that they approve of. Because you'll be taken for a ride over and over, like the blind passenger who gets into the cab of a crooked cabbie.
