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.
