Prepubescent? Not yet ovulating? Tough luck, kid. Keep out of the ladies' room.

Of course, girls can't go in the boys' room either. I guess elementary school girls will just have to hold it 'til they get home or something.

in order to use public restrooms? And how, by presenting a recently used tampon to a restroom attendant?
I guess I'm too old to go to the bathroom in Kansas unless I use the men's. But the lines are shorter for those.

Usually along the wall outside the restroom unless there’s some nearby foliage.

jars of urine collected outside a woman's bathroom and sign it, from your post egg producing voter. We could let them collect outside of bathrooms, someone would complain because our complaints will not be heard. We could put them outside their front doors.

I would love to pee in their shoes.

Women, we banded together to stop the anti abortion creeps, lost a bit recently but we are still able to get them if we need them. Now it is time to band together with all the women of this state and stop this crazy crap.

I never thought, as bad as it has been here from time to time, that we would rival some of the other states that have been worse. What incompetent idiots.

Current knowledge indicates that females are born with their entire lifetime supply of gametes.
At birth, the normal female ovary contains about 1-2 million/oocytes (eggs).
Females are not capable of making new eggs, and in fact, there is a continuous decline in the
total number of eggs each month.

Only if it's a concealed carry state, of course.

Next up: a law redefining pi as 2, just to make math easier.

Women are born with a "supply of eggs" they don't produce eggs, chickens produce eggs.

Without an educated populace we can't fight climate change or new pandemics or autocrats.

Life has gotten too complex to tolerate an ignorant (lack of information) population.
