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.
Click "like" if you want to end abortion!
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.
Got it, thanks.
The toxic bio waste is not the blood. The toxic bio waste is the thrower
It amounts to protoplasm in excess to the total needed. It can just be eliminated. poof........ gone
Fortunately, or unfortunately if you are a selfish, atheist female, most physicians are either Christians or Jews and look upon abortion as a sin that cries to heaven for justice.
Like Sandra Fluck who wants the money seized by the government from us to pay for her birth control. Imagine a 30 something college woman spending more time having intercourse than studying.
We shouldn’t be paying for some airhead’s regrets about having gotten herself knocked up.
ALL body fluids are considered contaminated just as ALL guns are considered loaded.
The former is why universal precautions are taught and used by Emergency Responders.
Sure why not. I mean why act like adults since you clearly are not anyhow.............
“....the feminist magazine Cosmopolitan...”
That’s a laugh! “Cosmo” is about nothing but 1,000 ways a woman can throw herself at a man, preferably a rich one. Helen Gurley Brown’s “Having It All” (1983) is about as un-feminist a guide to female empowerment as it gets.
OBTW, I’m a a guy who read Cosmo in the 1970’s both to find out what women were being taught and to look at pix of beautiful half-naked women more like early Playboy than modern feminism. On that subject, all I can guess is that Cosmo was saying to its readership, “This is what you the ideal Cosmo girl are supposed to look like”.
Today’s Cosmo is raunchy beyond belief; maybe that’s the feminism the writer was referring to.
Well, I was undecided on this issue, so I decided to listen to both sides of the argument. But when I saw the pro-abortion people throw used tampons, poop and pee around, they really convinced me to go to their side!
Said no one. Ever.
Murder supporters. No more, always less.
It’s the way of uncivilized critters.
Me too!
There are other ways to make a point without spewing from the gutter.
And they do this for what? Killing unborn babies...sick.
Mama taught me to be a gentleman and never hit a woman, but I swear before my God, that if one of these “females” were to throw blood of any type on me, well, Mama is going to be real disappointed....
Certifiable.
In this day and age of nasty diseases, attacking someone with bodily fluids should be considered an assault with a bio hazard weapon.
Screw arresting them, throwing bodily fluid toward somebody, really, arrest them?
This I respectfully submit, shoot their dumb asses on the spot, not to wound, to remove them from the gene pool.
Because they haven't evolved enough, and are mere carbon unit oxygen thieves!
