Lisa Brown, “barred from speaking in the state House after she used the word ‘vagina’ during a debate on an anti-abortion bill , will participate in a performance of the Tony Award-winning play, ‘The Vagina Monologues,’ on the state Capitol steps.” Brown was silenced after telling Republicans “she was flattered they were ‘all so concerned about my vagina.
