Repubs..........Hate the Word Uterus



Twitter was abuzz with snark, satire and hashtag games this week, exposing the immaturity of certain Floridian law makers. What is particularly ironic is that, on the last day of Women’s History Month, these GOP state representatives wanted to make the word “uterus” history from speeches on the floor. As reported here a few day ago:

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.

“The point was that Republicans are always talking about deregulation and big government,” Randolph said Thursday. “And I always say their philosophy is small government for the big guy and big government for the little guy. And so, if my wife’s uterus was incorporated or my friend’s bedroom was incorporated, maybe they (Republicans) would be talking about deregulating.

“It’s not like I used slang,” said Randolph, who actually got the line from his wife. He said Republicans voiced concern about young pages hearing the word uterus.

“I think it’s a sad commentary about what we think about sex education in the state,” he said.

How can Americans expect an honest debate about women’s health, when Republican politicians believe medical terminology for women’s bodies are vulgar?

3. Consider that to be yet another

insight into the mindset of this wave of Republicans. We are witnessing a disturbing trend where more of the most mentally unsound and psychologically troubled people in our country rise to positions of power in greater numbers and with observable signs of their pathology.

Ah, should we remind them that they spent nine-months in a UTERUS! That might be too upsetting and the medications would probably not help them make it through being reminded of that.

27. If male GOP politicians get the "screamin'-squeamies" when they hear the word "uterus",

then just maybe they should quit legislating all kinds of things involving the "girlie bits"..


They should also thank their lucky stars that we are not a matriarchal society in the mold they created for themselves... we might be having THEIR "boy-parts" being used in legislative language.
