Cosmopolitan magazine says protesters may throw menstrual blood on Texas legislators

AUSTIN, TX, July 12, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A writer for the feminist magazine Cosmopolitan has suggested women might throw menstrual blood on Texas state senators meeting to pass stronger health regulations for the state's abortion facilities.

For a while this afternoon, security officers at the state capitol in Austin confiscated tampons and maxi pads from everyone entering the chamber after pro-abortion demonstrators reportedly threatened to pelt legislators with feminine hygiene products as they debated H.B. 2 on Friday afternoon. They also held energy bars and other potential projectiles.

CNN's Josh Rubin reports that security personnel have since stopped confiscating unopened personal hygiene products, saying that the original issue was that some protesters were attempting to bring used ones in.

News of the confiscations rocketed around social media, with the hashtag #tampongate trending for a time on Twitter, with many pro-abortion activists claiming that Republicans were discriminating against menstruating women.

Michelle Ruiz regretted the lost opportunity on Cosmo's website.

“But we believe if there's a will to hurl things at a politician's head, there's a way,” Ruiz wrote. “Let's just say, if any of the protestors was stealth enough to wear a Diva Cup today, sh*t is about to go down.”

“The Diva Cup is a reusable silicon cup that you insert into your vagina during your period. It sits inside of you, collecting the blood,” the website explained in a separate article in March. “It can be worn for up to 12 hours.”

Ruiz reproduced with approval a tweet from feminist comedian Andrea Grimes, whom she described as a “journalist,” stating, “I never before have considered the aerial velocity of a fistful of pubic hair.”

She further derided Texas Republicans as “a bunch of pu----s.”

However, their fears are not unfounded.

On Tuesday morning, a Twitter user suggested someone assassinate Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a pro-life Republican. “A woman in Texas could shoot @DavidHDewhurst and use 'stand your ground' as a defense. Cause that guy is threatening all women in Texas,” the user tweeted.

On Friday, a group of pro-abortion demonstrators crashed the main floor with homemade wanted posters of pro-life Republicans, according to the Associated Press.

In response to Friday's tampon furor, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) issued a statement, explaining that they had "received information that individuals planned to use a variety of items or props to disrupt legislative proceedings at the Texas Capitol."

Unruly pro-abortion demonstrators in Austin prevented lawmakers from voting on the bill, then known as S.B. 5, during normal session. Governor Rick Perry called a special session to pass identical legislation, H.B. 2, this month.

Roe v. Wade needs to be overturned, regardless of support for legalized abortion and the caterwallering of nags like these, simply because Roe v. Wade decision resulted from false statements, judicial errors and the fact that the provisions of the United States Constitution falsely applied to the Roe v. Wade case were not intended to give women the right to abortion or to prevent states from prohibiting abortion.

It's rather like the homosexual marriage ruling which is another example of the powers in DC pleasing Satan.

Some people might say that they've run out of arguments.

Going out on a limb, here.

I believe it’s long past time for decent members of a polite American society to realize that there’s no room or place for the large numbers of subhumans that infest this nation. There is no way that decent elements can be reconciled with this segment and vice versa.

Realizing that fact there has to be a way to shut them down or out of our faces and lives. They represent anathema to progress and should be considered an insult to Christians and Jews.

The same thing goes for adherents to the evil trash religion of the pedophile Mohammed.

totally true.
I believe abortion is murder but unfortunately it is legal
If you are going to procure an abortion I say one has to go to a hospital to do it
and have at least a 24 hour stay afterward
These fly by night abortion clinics are run by sham doctors—many who are not licensed in the US (ah yes I was a doctor in Rumania)—and this includes Unplanned Parenthood
The women walk in and out of these clinics as if they were walking out of a beauty parlor —no wonder there are many deaths from botched abortions

§ 22.11. HARASSMENT BY PERSONS IN CERTAIN CORRECTIONAL
FACILITIES; HARASSMENT OF PUBLIC SERVANT. (a) A person commits an
offense if, with the intent to assault, harass, or alarm, the
person:
(2) causes another person the actor knows to be a
public servant to contact the blood, seminal fluid, vaginal fluid,
saliva, urine, or feces of the actor, any other person, or an animal
while the public servant is lawfully discharging an official duty
or in retaliation or on account of an exercise of the public
servant’s official power or performance of an official duty.
(b) An offense under this section is a felony of the third
degree.
(e) For purposes of Subsection (a)(2), the actor is presumed
to have known the person was a public servant if the person was
wearing a distinctive uniform or badge indicating the person’s
employment as a public servant.

22.11(a)(2) makes no mention of correctional facilities. The last word in 22.11(a)(1) is “or”

Also, assault against a peace officer only gets bumped to felony 3 when it’s class A assault. Class C assault against a peace officer is still class C assault.

That suggestion should be taken literally. If anyone should throw blood that is contaminated with any blood borne disease agent, that would be a quite serious criminal offense, and I would not hesitate to call it biological terrorism.

A lot of lefty states would wink and nod, and manage to take no action. But this is Texas. Deliberately assaulting legislators with an infectious biological agent might not be taken lightly.

What are the odds that bodily fluids from rapid pro-abort protestors are uncontaminated?

Your loyalties are misplaced. In these situations you should consider yourself an American and a conservative before before any 'siding' with being a woman.

That division has been fostered by the Leftists, and you shouldn't buy into it.

Besides, these aren't really women, I think the term bitches was invented for them.

Blood born pathogens can kill. That's why training is required to do clean ups of blood spills. And why those pretty red bio-hazard bags exist.

These ?women? intend to deliberately throw a biological agent (blood,) on others.
