ACLU of Florida’s new website: ‘Incorporate My Uterus’
"In an interesting chain of events last week, “uterus” became a four-letter word on the Florida House floor. A group of pro-uterus insurrectionists have now leaped to the defense of the now-defenseless “uterus” via the Internet.

Last week, state Rep. Scott Randolph, D-Orlando, suggested that his wife “incorporate her uterus” in the hopes that it may receive the same kind of privacy and protection businesses in Florida receive. Well, some of Randolph’s colleagues were not so thrilled with Randolph’s suggestion. To be clear, it was not the sentiment behind the suggestion that riled them — it was merely the use of the word “uterus.”

After conservative members of the house reprimanded Randolph, women and pro-uterus advocates are having a lot of fun with their Internet response.

Among this band of uterus-loving folks: the ACLU of Florida. The ACLU has just launched a website at which women can incorporate their uteri online, thus sending a message to Florida legislators that “less regulation and government intrusion begins with a woman’s uterus.” The website calls on women to literally make their uterus their own business."

3. my message:
I am an intelligent woman who has been fully capable to make educated decisions for myself in my life. I have three beautiful daughters and I feel confident that when the time comes they too will be able to make educated, intelligent decisions about their bodies as well.

My uterus is my business. And yes, I said UTERUS!! grow up and grow a pair. How would you like it if everyone stuck their nose in your personal medical decisions.... like that little blue pill you need to get your PENIS to stand at attention!! perhaps you are not able to make an informed decision without a legislature to telling you false medical information about it. Stop trying to parent women. We are not children. And we can make our own medical decisions thank you very much.
