Rep. Lisa Brown Talks About Kosher Dishes & Her Vagina

Rep. Lisa Brown, a Democrat State Rep in Michigan (West Bloomfield) gets censured in the Michigan State House for talking about her vagina... but not before she goes on the record explaining that she's keeps kosher in her home and has separate milchig and fleishig dishes as well as two more sets for Passover.

Rep. Lisa Brown referenced the talk by her colleague from Holland, Michigan who spoke about religious freedom. She then went on to speak personally about her own faith.

I'm Jewish. I keep kosher in my home. I have two sets of dishes. One for meat and one for dairy, and another two sets of dishes on top of that for Passover. Judaism believes that therapeutic abortions, namely abortions performed in order to preserve the life of the mother are not only permissable but mandatory. The stage of pregnancy does not matter. Wherever there is a question of the life of the mother or that of the unborn child, Jewish law rules in favor of preserving the life of the mother. The status of the fetus as human life does not equal that of the mother. I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs. Why are you asking me to adopt yours?

Thanks for demonstrating the kind of misogynistic thinking that these legislators have dressed up as "polite discourse"! You can shut the fuck up now.

Have fun being single the rest of your life, you sexist asshole.

Lol "we do ask that you respect the decorum of the house" - that decorum meaning white males who know nothing of what it is to carry a baby speaking over the voices of women, and the pretense to pretend that vaginas don't exist.

Dear women,

Nobody is angry or obsessed with your vaginas in any way. They are just vaginas. They don't give you the credibility to randomly accuse someone of being a rapist simply because they disagree with having to pay for your reproductive choices. And finally, your vaginas do not give you an end all be all knowledge of when human life begins and whether or not it should be terminated. Don't try and shame me, I am not anti-abortion necessarily, but this insanity has to stop.

Girl preach <3

That speaker should have been arrested for being interested in her vagina and stalking her, menacing her, and not taking no for an answer!

[Boris The Dog]

She wasnt banned for talking about her vagina, she was banned for being a cunt and implying that the speaker was a rapist as you can clearly see at the end of the video

[FuriousFatMan]

isnt it funny who pissy the jews get when they are told how to live? but how they don't give a fuck when they are telling the goys how to live ? and in some cases, how to die?

why do you, Ms. Proud Jew, feel you have any right to do to me what you insist is a violation of your religious rights?

You may be gods chosen, but the rest of the world thinks you are trash.

Was mr. speaker going to rape her? or tried to? because that's what she implied. I know politics are a circus, but something like that is uncalled for.

[Mulatto Mann]

There are actually bills against the male pill and vasectomy by vindictive women.

[MetroidJunkie2007]

Because saying they're interested in her vagina and implying rape by saying no means no, that clearly couldn't offend anyone.
