A Michigan State Rep. was blocked from speaking on the House floor yesterday after using the word ‘vagina’ while opposing a proposed anti-abortion bill the day before.

Lisa Brown, D-West Bloomfield, was told that she was not allowed participate in Thursday's debate because of her earlier ‘offensive comments’ and ‘unprofessional conduct’, according to CBS.

During Wednesday’s heated debate, Brown, who is Jewish, spoke against a proposed bill which would further regulate abortions.

‘Wherever there’s a question of the life of the mother, or that of the unborn child, Jewish law rules in favour of preserving the life of the mother,' she said.
