DESCRIPTION:At the Republican National Convention in Tampa, CODEPINK confronted the 
 GOP’s attack on women. We donned vagina costumes—taking them into 
 anti-choice events, singing all the way. Our vaginas became the talk of the 
 town, with Current TV doing a whole video on their design and calling them 
 “omnipresent.”\n\nYou have a chance to join these vagina 
 warriors!\n\nCODEPINK wants YOU—to Bring Your Vagina to The Castro 
 Theatre on October 10th to support Cecile Richards and Planned Parenthood. 
 INFORUM at The Commonwealth Club is giving FREE entry to anyone dressed as 
 a vagina. \n\nTogether, in San Francisco we will form a team of women (and 
 vagina-friendly folks) who will continue to be unafraid to speak up for our 
 rights and our lives. We will bring our costumes, pink boas, creativity, 
 and inspiration to celebrate Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards and 
 ourselves!\n\nThe backstory:\n\nIn June, during a debate over one of the 
 most restrictive anti-choice bills yet, Michigan state Rep. Lisa Brown read 
 a letter from a voter that concluded with a message for Republican Speaker 
 of the House Jase Bolger:\n\n“Finally Mr. Speaker, I’m flattered that 
 you are all so interested in my vagina, but no means no.”\n\nBolger 
 promptly barred Rep. Brown from speaking on the House floor the next day. 
 Apparently Michigan Republicans think it’s okay to legislate vaginas, but 
 not okay to talk about them. Thousands of women and vagina-supporters 
 gathered at the Michigan Capitol for a special performance of Eve 
 Ensler’s Vagina Monologues and a protest rally.\n\nEve Ensler famously 
 said: “My vagina’s furious and it needs to talk.” Our vaginas need to 
 talk, too. They need to talk about the way women’s rights are threatened 
 worldwide–from anti-choice legislation to inappropriate rape jokes to 
 economic inequality to war and occupation overseas that disproportionately 
 affect women’s lives.\n\nBring your vagina costume to the Castro Theatre 
 on October 10 for FREE entry for what guarantees to be a vagina 
 extravaganza! \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/10/01/18722776.php
