If they are used, they are a biohazard.

This does not include gallons of urine and feces.
Abortion advocates are uniquely nasty people.

Somehow they seem immune from any moral blowback for what they do. This ought to be a warning about how deep apathy has sunk.

Those things are dangerous, they could get

'State Sen. Kirk Watson of Austin called it a "boneheaded"
and "crazy" decision to confiscate tampons as state
troopers sought to take away items that could be thrown
from the gallery.'

That jerk needs to face it, this stupid stunt didn’t work. Is this ahole democrat also upset about the bottles of urine and feces these sick bastards broight in?
This lust for killing babies is evil, I guess it really should not be a surprise how far they’ll go.

From what I've heard, and please correct me if I am mistaken, the tampons were used. There is no rationale I can fathom for someone to retain a used tampon. It's a risk to everyone's health, especially those within throwing distance.

Until that point, it is just a tool; just like a M1911-A1, a knife or a hammer.
