'Scandal’ Creator Shonda Rhimes Warns at Planned Parenthood Gala: ‘Vaginas Might Go Extinct’
Breitbart News ^ | 3 May 2017 | Jerome Hudson

Hollywood super-producer Shonda Rhimes says she finds it distressing that in 2017, women’s health needs to be protected as if it were an endangered species. In a speech at Planned Parenthood’s 100th anniversary gala in New York Tuesday night, where she earned the evening’s Champion of Change award, Rhimes — who recently joined the board at the organization — discussed how her hit television shows including Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy offer a glimpse into how the world would look if women were “running things,” and lamented that the female anatomy itself could become extinct in today’s political climate.

“In 2017. Women’s health needs protecting. Like some kind of endangered species. Like, holy crap, vaginas might go extinct,” the showrunner said in her speech, according to a transcript provided to Variety.

“Fact 1 – I just can’t get over the fact that a room full of straight white men who couldn’t find a vulva with two hands and a flashlight are insistent on telling me and all my friends what to do with the vagina we have been driving around America for our entire lives,” she said.

Rhimes concluded her speech by vowing to do “champion-y things” to support women’s health initiatives.

“Women should be running things. But we aren’t. Not everywhere. Not yet,” she said. “There is so much work to be done. And not a lot of time to do it.”

Hillary Clinton, whose presidential campaign Rhimes supported, also delivered remarks at Tuesday’s event.

“As we speak, politicians in Washington are still doing everything they can to roll back the rights and progress we’ve fought so hard for over the last century,” Clinton said. “I mean, could you believe those photos of men around that conference table deciding how to strip away coverage for pregnancy and maternity care?”

They should have “Caitlyn” Jenner give the speech instead.

The way she worded that suggests that she gave them all a crack at it.

“women’s health needs to be protected as if it were an endangered species”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Except for pre-born women, of course.

  As I look at this - I'm inclined to say "Let 'em go."

If “Scandel” is an example of what the world would look like if women were running it then thankfully they don’t. I read that everyone on that show was so sure of a Hillary victory that they didn’t know what to do with the storyline when she lost.

This makes no sense at all; but then, these lunatics aren’t rational or even sane.

What are the reasons for this? I can think of too many to list in our society.

Including Lamborghinis.

Well they haven’t for over 2000 years so I think we will be okay.
Course can’t speak for Ms Rhimes since she drives hers all over the place!
