Remember this? Texas Senate Removes Tampons Of Mass Destruction

Texas Senate Removes Tampons Of Mass Destruction

By Juanita Jean



You know how I don’t cuss because it upsets Momma? You know how I say Sumbitch only about three times a year?Well, sumbitch, sumbitch, sumbitch, sumbitch. Sum uva bitch, sumbitch.Today at the Texas House hearings on the bill that will practically outlaw a woman’s constitutional right to abortion, they aren’t afraid of Wendy Davis’ filibuster skills. No, siree.Now they are terrified, mortified, and frightened of tampons. Tampons. Tamfreekin’pons.


State troopers are confiscating tampons, maxi pads and other potential projectiles from those who are entering the Texas capitol to watch the debate and vote on a controversial anti-abortion bill. Guns, however, which are typically permitted in the state capitol, are still being allowed.

And do you want to know why tampons and sanitary pads are being confiscated from female purses prior to women being allowed into the gallery?

Here’s my opinion: This was done for only one reason – an attempt to humiliate women and to remind them that they are different.

They should have guns, not menstrual cycles.

This not just insane. It is beyond belief. Yes you get some blood on your hands by both a tampon and a gun. The first is about a life cycle that will bring a life into this world. The second ends a life in the most horrific way.

Tampons: Satan's Little Cotton Fingers

An excerpt:
Ladies of Landover member Mrs. Taffy Davenport-Gaines Crockett, visiting the Landover Christian Pharmacy recently to refill the church tract display, happened upon a shocking sight. A young woman was visibly upset and arguing loudly with pharmacist Emma Mae Martin. What Mrs. Crockett discovered next sickened her unto the point of nausea.
"The young woman was trying to buy tampons," Mrs. Crockett said, barely able to hold back tears. "I snatched that girl by the hair and pulled her outside... there were children present! Can you imagine how they'd be damaged by hearing such evil ideas?"

“I explained to this young lady that we do not carry such phallic devices as tampons and when attending to her monthly curse," Mrs. Martin said, adding that "Satan himself controls the manufacturing of those things." The young woman then began to verbally abuse her, she said.

"A Godly woman is only to use a Maxi-Pad," Mrs. Crockett stated. "Why, they even have them with little angel wings now! I handed her a box and told her unless she wanted my handprint across her face she was never to utter that evil T word again!” The as yet unidentified woman then fled the store in humiliation. Landover Security sketch artists are preparing a likeness to aid in identifying the young woman. Her salvation status is unknown, but based on this event, it is likely she is Hellbound.


And yes, this is satire. From the Landover Baptist Church site.

That is way to close to the truth.

Black men can be shot to death, like Michael Brown he bleeds out for four hours totally acceptable. A woman menstruates, we are filthy. Thanks longship, so very close to the truth.

BTW, Landover Baptist was the origination of Betty Bowers (Deven Green), yet another great satirical voice on the Net.

Always nice to see you around, she.
