Catch the bored expressions on the faces of her Republican male counterparts as Rep. Lisa Brown makes a brief statement regarding Judaism, and the legality of abortion when it is a life or death choice between the fetus or the mother. Perhaps she hoped to wake them up with her parting shot to the speaker. She did. Brown’s parting shot included the word vagina – gasp, the horror!
Brown and Barb Byrum, both banned from speaking for one day as punishment for their ‘breach of decorum’, used the time wisely by giving a dramatic reading of ‘The Vagina Monologues’ with 10 other legislators on the steps of the Michigan capital. Massive crowds gathered to listen and support the ousted lawmakers who dared to use the ‘V’ word. See the video for the parting shot Brown fired that is was heard ’round the country.
