(30,811 posts)1. I didn't know about Pense's menses history!
From your link:
"Mike Pence signed a law this year that mandated funerals for fetuses, whether aborted or miscarried."

court ruling stopped it just before it was to be enacted (this month.)

(16,334 posts)3. There's a website dedicated Periods for Pence...
women started calling his office to discuss their monthly flow (since Pence is so determined to be involved.) The conversations were very funny even though it ended up being poor phone operators bearing the brunt.

Periods for Pence, Meet Tampons for Trump - Yahoo
After Pence signed some of the most restrictive abortion legislation in the country this spring, an activist group emerged through social media, calling themselves Periods for Pence. And the women of the group tweeted, posted on Facebook, and called the governors office on a regular basis to tell him if they were, well, regular.
The founder of the Periods for Pence Facebook group, who spoke with Yahoo Style on the condition of anonymity, says shes been amazed by the impact, resonance, and growth the group has achieved in its first few months of existence.
Initially, we were a satirical, tongue-in-cheek protest about a specific law, she shared. Over time, we became a community of supportive women who shared our experiences, struggles, and frustrations with each other especially when it comes to how (more often than not, white male) legislators decide what women can and cannot do with their own bodies.
And now that Pence is potentially one election and a heartbeat away from the presidency?
We feel an even more urgent need to explain why these anti-choice laws are bad for women and bad for families, she says. Each of our members has a vested interest in keeping anti-choice legislation and politicians at the forefront of peoples minds this election season. ..........
