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?”

If you want to send a lesbian into a rage, tell her, “You will never know what it actually feels like to be with a woman.” Not until they can hook the plastic into the central nervous system.
How such an ignorant, racist, sexist woman could accomplish anything is beyond me. She probably had help.

That’s good! I’ll have to use it someday.
It was supposed to have been Christmas Eve. They played Silent Night during what was supposed to be the procedure.
Grab ‘em while you can
If she means “use it or lose it”, ain’t no way she is seeing much action...
Women were granted the vote by white males; now their descendants pretend it was somehow taken by girl power.
No, she would have said, “stank”... might go stank. The English language is dead.
If the real ones go extinct, they’ll always have the hats.
I like vaginas as a whole
That sounds like a deep subject for my consideration. In fact it often has has my rapt attention
I’ll penetrate the matter futher at my earliest convenience.
Vaginas might, but as long as this bimbo is drawing breath, c__ts won’t.
Sex selected abortion liberals can’t bring themselves to condemn is more likely to make women disappear than conservatism.
Unless you want to say the female genital mutilation feminists are minimizing as “similar to circumcision” or “just a little cut” is equal to vaginas disappearing.
As though another reason is needed to boycott Hollywood.
Combined PING! and DANG!
