Nope, not the Onion. "Thou shalt not invoke the words 'womb' or 'uterus' in vain"

[ck4829]

During last week's discussion about a bill that would prohibit governments from deducting union dues from a worker's paycheck, state Rep. Scott Randolph, D-Orlando, used his time during floor debate to argue that Republicans are against regulations -- except when it comes to the little guys, or serves their specific interests.

At one point Randolph suggested that his wife "incorporate her uterus" to stop Republicans from pushing measures that would restrict abortions. Republicans, after all, wouldn't want to further regulate a Florida business.

Apparently the GOP leadership of the House didn't like the one-liner.

They told Democrats that Randolph is not to discuss body parts on the House floor.

1. Talk of uteruses makes God the Father feel very queasy inside. Thou shalt not mention them!

[sharp_stick]

2. Would that be Uteri?

I can't say that I've ever had the need to discuss the uterus in the plural form before.

5. I don't see why "uterus" should be a banned by the repubs

After all, they keep trying to crawl back up into it and regulate it.

15. I can't find video of this anywhere...

so I can't discount the possibility that it is an epic April Fool's day "news" story.

I say epic because it sounds so plausible while being way beyond the pale.

11. If he really wanted to make their heads explode....

He could have said "unionize" rather than "incorporate" :)

12. Nice work, Scott Randolph!

13. Nice, I bet that got their boxers in a twist.

14. New Headline: Florida House Pushes Bill Outlawing "Uterus".

New Measure Calls for Mandatory Replacement With "Womany Parts"

16. Every chance they get Ds should use body parts in speeches

Something along the lines of "... as a rule of thumb - er sorry Mr Speaker, I'll restate that - as a rule of bodily part ..."

or "... in some way we must get persistent offenders to toe the line - oh, I'm sorry, Mr Speaker, - come up to a mark and place part of their anatomy upon it."


Strategists could put together a glossary, "Tongue of land," "armed police," "football" would be fun and so on. They must insist that these changes be put in the record. Also, as often as they can catch them, correct the Rs, because "we do not wish to complain formally about discussing bodily parts, so would the gentleman amend his language,"
