Are they serious?
A lawmaker was barred from speaking on the floor of the Michigan state legislature for saying “vagina” during a heated debate over abortions.
According to Republican Rep. Mike Callton,
What did she say that was so offensive, you ask?"What she said was offensive. It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company."

What year is this again?
And if she is not supposed to use medically correct terms to discuss laws concerning female anatomy, what is she supposed to use? PUppets?

Hate me all you want, 95 % of the time I'm write.
I have a sudden urge to travel to Michigan and enact a certain scene from Monty Python's 'Life of Bryan'....only substituting vagina for Jehovah.
Maybe its like Bloody Mary, if you say it three times it appears and devours your soul.
"What she said was offensive. It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company."
He won't say it, but he'll legislate the hell out of it.
....I have never in my life been so tempted to fly acros the country and just start screaming the name of a part of the female anatomy at the top of my lungs.
Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs, but if you sit back and relax you get a heck of a ride.

How stupid. It obviously isn't the word they're so pissed off about.
If they have to muddy the waters to distract from the point she was making, maybe they're on the wrong side of the argument.
I love how the response on Twitter was to start tweeting "vagina" to the accounts of the reps who were offended.
But really, you'd think something 50% of the population possesses wouldn't be so controversial. And if they were offended by a medical term, I can think of some far worse words for the same body part.
This is what happens when voters get too stupid for democracy.
Michigan is a "purple state," but its current state government is as right-wing as you might expect to find in Alabama or Mississippi, because the voters got pissed off at the bad economy and voted in a slate of Republicans without taking into account that the Republican Party has been hijacked by a gang of black-shirted, goose-stepping lunatics with about as much qualification to govern as a nest of yellowjackets.
