Republicans Censure Democrat For Use Of The Word 'Uterus'! Legislating Female Procedures Involves Fe
Florida GOP Says You Must Not Mention Body Parts!

Two weeks ago, on the floor of the Florida House, Congressman Scott Randolph (D), said, "If my wife's uterus was incorporated, we would be talking about deregulating it". The GOP had a meltdown and demanded that the Congressman be censured. And so it is! Body parts must not be mentioned on the floor of the House in Tallahassee. Suppose Randolph had used the words 'breast', 'nipple', or any number of other body parts from which he could have chosen. Is it just the body parts of women that disturb the Republican legislature or are male body parts equal opportunity offenders? The ACLU wants to find out.
