Lisa Brown, a Democrat from West Bloomfield, made an ass of herself yesterday during the debate in the House over changes in abortion regulations. Presumably upset because the Michigan Republican Party is trying to lessen the number of abortions in the state, Brown took to the floor and said that prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks goes against Jewish beliefs that abortions are allowable, and mandatory, if necessary to save the life of the mother -- at any stage of gestation. What Brown did not point out is that the bill would allow for abortions to save the life of the mother. Her point is moot, therefore she was only grandstanding.
She used her Jewish faith as a reason more abortions should be allowed, as if it is Jewish law to kill the unborn.
"I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs, why are you asking me to adhere to yours?" she asked.
It is true that the Jewish faith does allow for stopping a pregnancy in the case of saving the life of the mother, so that she may go on to have a successful pregnancy, however, Brown's comments were out of line because nobody was suggesting that abortions would be banned in those cases.
She finished with:
"I'm flattered that you want to get in my vagina, but no means no," she said.
So today, she was banned from speaking on the House floor because of her comments. She is now trying to make the case that the evil white male Republicans are attacking her Jewish faith.
Right.
Now, the liberal bloggers and inane reporters are working upon the assumption that she has been barred from speaking because she "dared" to say the word "vagina."
No, that's not why. First of all, she got her facts wrong on the bill, and made it look as if her faith is being attacked when it was not. But her disgusting comment came when she said that she was flattered that the men in the House wanted to get in her vagina.
That's outrageous! Flattered? She is flattered? Imagine if there were 10 men on a street corner cat-calling a woman, would she be flattered that the men want to "get in her vagina?" What a filthy mindset. It is so beneath the lowest form of communication to suggest that the men of the House want to get in her vagina, when the bill's sole purpose was to decrease the number of abortions in the state. For Lisa Brown to make it sound as if the Republicans want anything to do with her most intimate and private, yes, God-given parts is so vulgar and unlady-like, I can't describe it. Then she had the audacity to suggest that she had previously told the men of the House that they couldn't have sex with her, and she now said no again..."no means no."
Lisa Brown suggested that Republicans hate Jews, and keep insisting on having sex with her.
This woman is completely disgusting, outrageous, and vulgar.
How does this behavior advance the cause for women in the state? She does not speak for all women, nor does she speak for all Jewish women. This is a complete outrage!
Now, I have a friend, Eileen Hart, who is a conservative, pro Israel activist, fellow blogger and Orthodox Jew, and she adds,
The fact that she is probably so non-religious and so secular and only uses Judaism when it is convenient to get herself heard is shameful. No modest or Jewish woman who grew up with real Jewish values would even talk like that in public with such vulgar terms. We Orthodox Jewish women are taught from childhood to act with dignity and maturity. Ms. Brown is an example of what it was like to obviously grow up in a home where Hashem was not a big part of her life, nor was the core values that Hashem sets forth in the Torah. As it is stated in the laws of modesty, even our speech has serious implication when we speak lashon Hara, which is gossip or vulgar language. It shines a negative light on Israel and all Jews as we are supposed to be the light and example unto other nations. To discuss her private parts in front of men is the biggest aveira (sin) for Jewish women. She is using Judaism and desecrating G-d, what she is doing is shillul Hashem, a desceration of the laws G-d gave us in the Torah. We are commanded to be the light unto every other nation, and it is our duty as Jewish mothers and Jewish daughters to set the example of good behavior to the rest of the world. She is putting us all in a bad light, she should be ashamed of herself.
Well, well, well. It seems as though Lisa Brown, Democrat, should ban herself!
Nat Hentoff is anti-abortion. His heritage is Jewish. He's an atheist. He's very left wing. He opposes abortion.
Passing laws against abortion is hardly imposing Christianity on radical Jewish communists who are simply trying to mind their own business. This Lisa Brown person wants to sell that notion, but I'm not buying.
I was watching this story for two days, and now, Politico has piped up spewing the same bs. The Dems are trying to act as though the prudes on the Republican side are offended by the word vagina, when it was her disgusting suggestion that went far, far over the line.
What is it with liberal women named Lisa and being vile? In my experience they seem to go together.

this is turning into a war on women scenario in MI, or rather, has been the Dems aim from the get-go, makes me sick!
I know! This is all so stupid and emotional, and dishonest. Nothing new I know, but it’s just shameful. these women are proving how dumb they are and trying to take us all down with them!
Hippocrates forbade abortions, but that may have been mainly because they were very dangerous for the mother. Aristotle envisions situations where women would be forced to have abortions if they had too many children, like modern-day China.

Wow! Now we have Garmento-speak on the floor of Congress.
Is this twit so disconnected from her womanhood that she is unaware that pregnancy occurs in the uterus and not in the vagina?
Going back to the early days of Rush, a caller abortion sound (powerful vacuum cleaner) should be played anytime this sub-human attempts to speak seeing as she and her vagina love abortions so much.
Like most things in life it is hard to find absolutes and my opposition to abortion is very close to absolute but I would be willing, only in extreme cases like this piece of filth, and like our filthy president suggested, to consider abortions for some pre-described time after birth. Just how old is she so I can define that pre-described time?/sarc double//sarc in case you don’t get it.
yes, I get it.
What arrogance!Jews are less than 2 percent of the population and declining.
jenk, sorry the /sarc was not to imply you did not get it just a generic tag for anyone reading it. Cheers.
