Periods for Pence Facebook Page
Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana is terribly concerned about womens' reproduction, proper burial of miscarriages, etc. so a Periods for Pence FB page has been put up, suggesting that women call and tell the governor's office how their menstrual cycles are doing.
Basically attempting to embarrass him with TMI:
Fertilized eggs can be expelled during a woman's period without a woman even knowing that she might have had the potential cytoblast in her. Therefore, any period could potentially be a miscarriage without knowledge. I would certainly hate for any of my fellow Hoosier women to be at risk of penalty if they do not "properly dispose" of this or report it. Just to cover our bases, perhaps we should make sure to contact Governor Pence's office to report our periods. We wouldn't want him thinking that THOUSANDS OF HOOSIER WOMEN A DAY are trying to hide anything, would we? We can ALL CALL HIM AT 317-232-4567. REPORT THOSE PERIODS! You should really let him know, since he's so concerned. It will only take a few minutes of your day, but it lets them face an undue and unjust burden, for a change!
I would love to hear about your calls--please post how it goes! (MY NOTE: "Cytoblast" is not a word that I know of and I hold a BA in biology.) I don't think this guy knows the difference between an ovum, a sperm, a zygote, a blastocyst, an embryo, a nonviable fetus and a viable fetus.
Sample phone call:
Them: Good Morning, Governor Pence's office
Me: Hi. I just found out that we should be reporting our periods to the Governor...
Them: (interrupting) Ma'am, stop calling.
Me: This is the first time I've called. That's why I'm worried. I had my period last week and I didn't report it....
Them: (interrupting) Ma'am, I can't help you. (Click)
Sample phone call:
Them: "Good Morning, Governor Pence's office"
Me: "Good Morning. I just wanted to inform the Governor that things seem to be drying up today. No babies seem to be up in there. Okay?"
Them: (Sounding strangely horrified and chipper at the same time) "Ma'am, can we have your name?"
Me: "Sure. It's Sue."
Them: "And your last name?"
Me: "Magina. That's M-A-G-I-N-A. It rhymes with--"
Them: "I've got it."

Sample email:
Hi, I live in Kentucky but will be coming to Indiana this weekend for my niece's birthday. This leads to a few questions:
1) While visiting Indiana I'll be on my period. Will I need to submit my tampons & pads to Gov. Pence while I'm there?
2) Also will he contact Gov. Bevin to give him an update on my reproductive cycle or will I need to check in with him when I return, as both are so concerned about my lady parts?

Men are also calling the Governor's office and reporting about their girlfriends' or wives' periods!!
Good morning! Don't forget to call 317-232-4567 so that you, too, can hear those magical words: "
Sigh) And your name is?"
