Texas Senate Anti-Choice Debate: Tampons Confiscated, Guns Not a Problem
At the Texas capitol today, where the state Senate is debating that regressive caveman anti-choice bill passed by the House a couple of days ago, state troopers are searching women and confiscating any tampons or pads they discover. Texas Republicans are scared that women will throw tampons at them. Yes, they are.

Concealed firearms? No problem!

After being ridiculed by the entire world, the Texas GOP has a change of heart.
Thanks to @kirkpwatson for getting DPS to stop confiscating tampons. Tampons now allowed at TX Capitol #standwithTXwomen #txlege #hb2
