Taking a Stand Against Restrictive Policies
The recent announcement of Governor Mike Pence as Donald Trump’s running mate has sparked a wave of resistance among women across the country. In response, they’re taking a bold approach: calling the campaign to discuss their menstrual cycles. While it may seem unconventional, this movement is rooted in a deeper concern about the extreme views on women’s health held by Pence and Trump.
A History of Controversy
Pence has consistently demonstrated a disregard for women’s autonomy, exemplified by his support for a law that would have required women who experienced miscarriages or abortions to hold funerals for the fetuses. This legislation is a stark reminder of the threats to reproductive freedom that women face.
Trump’s Troubling Track Record
Trump’s own views on women’s health are equally concerning. His infamous comment about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, suggesting she had “blood coming out of her whatever” after a heated exchange, is a disturbing example of his attitude towards women. These comments, while often dismissed as offhand remarks, reveal a deeper disrespect for women’s bodies and choices.
Women Take a Stand
These one-off phone calls may seem humorous at first, but they represent a powerful statement about the importance of women’s autonomy. By sharing their stories and experiences, women are declaring that they will not be silenced or restricted by oppressive policies. The Periods for Pence and Tampons for Trump Facebook pages have become a hub for women to share their stories and mobilize against restrictive laws.
Voices from the Movement
