Have you heard about the uterus rebellion?
It started this past week in the Florida House of Representatives when Rep. Scott Randolph, D-Orlando, suggested during a floor debate that his wife ought to incorporate her uterus.
If women’s wombs were businesses, Republicans would have no interest in regulating them, Randolph was saying.
Mark Pafford, D-West Palm Beach, thought his colleague was making a serious point.
“They don’t want to regulate business, but they’ve come up with 18 abortion bills this session,” Pafford said.
The Republican House leadership responded by admonishing Randolph for his language and banning the word “uterus” from being spoken from the floor.
I recommend, in an abundance of caution, that all state representatives should refrain from driving Volvos until this can be sorted out.
And where this leaves the word “prostate” is unclear, but it’s fair to say that all medical terms for mommy parts – especially “fallopian” – are hereby placed on the naughty list until further notice.

And this further proves that at least half of the Republican Committee still hasn’t graduated grade-school health class.
As an addendum to the caution on the use of the word “uterus”, members of the legislature will no longer be allowed to exchange recipes for things like chicken cacciatore. Words like “breasts” may be overheard.
It’s amazing that the Republicans can try to outlaw “Freedom of Speech” on the floor of the house.
