LANSING -- A Michigan State Representative is banned from making comments on the House floor after mentioning her female anatomy during debate Thursday.

WDIV reports Democrat Lisa Brown of West Bloomfield was speaking during a heated debate over a bill restricting abortions.  The bill up for discussion was HB 5711.

"I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs, why are you asking me to adopt yours? And finally Mr.. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina but no means no," said Rep. Brown.

The Republican Speaker of the House, Jase Bolger, issued a statement saying, "House Republicans often go beyond simply allowing debate by welcoming open and passionate discussion of the issues before this chamber.  The only way we can continue doing so, however, is to ensure that the proper level of maturity and civility are maintained on the House floor."
