Florida ACLU launches 'Incorporate My Uterus' website

By The Associated Press --

MIAMI — The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida has a message for women who want complete control over their reproductive health: Incorporate your uterus.

To help women who want to do this, the organization launched the website www.IncorporateMyUterus.com on Tuesday, which will issue a declaration of incorporation for women who would like one.

Head of ACLU of Florida Howard Simon says "The Florida Legislature - and extreme social conservatives across the country - are taking rules and regulation off of businesses and adding them to uteruses."

Simon says that telling lawmakers that your body is a business "is really the best way to get them to leave it alone."

The website will produce a printable document and shortly, men will be allowed to incorporate an honorary uterus.

1. K&R
Hmmmm.... I wonder if you can take one of these uterus corporations "public" and not be in violation of other laws.

- In any event, I'd love to be at the first shareholders meeting......

4. Moveon.org had no play in this game. The rep (dem) was speaking on the floor of the house when he
said that statement and ACLU came up with getting it registered. He was on Maddow show last night. It was pretty funny. Being a woman I thought he had it just about right.

6. Great stuff!

And that means My Uterus, Inc, can lobby and donate to campaigns. Saul Alinsky must be clapping his hands.

"This message brought to you by My Uterus, Inc."

There will be dishes clattering to the floor as parents rush to see what their babysitter
(the television) is showing the children...
