A state lawmaker is proposing the state supply free feminine hygiene products in all state-run buildings, including schools.

Rep. Melissa Sargent (D-Madison) said the products are “a basic necessity for half of the world's population.”

I’m rarely around at the birth of a nickname so I am awed by Bloody Melissa Sargent. She’s also too dumb to stay local so we’ll probably see the Dems get her into Congress at sometime in the future.

[Cyman]

I think this is the wrong thread.

[terycarl]

And you wonder why people are losing respect for government????Good grief Charlie Brown, the country is going nuts.

[BatGuano]

Right on! Tell that libtard that she should get her facts right. Typical of the left, they generalize or exaggerate to make their point and miss the mark by millions of miles.

Oooops, I just behaved like a libtard!

Hey Melissa, the “curse” is your brain inaction.

[VanShuyten]

They give away toilet paper. Why not sanitary napkins?

[reg45]

I just checked the price online at Amazon - typically $0.20 to $0.30 each. Not a big deal.

[V K Lee]

OK, fair enough. What’s his name? Due to the nature of information posted, I’ll not venture to read the article. Sorry CBS

[twister881]

Don’t know of a situation where toilet paper caused toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Wait for the massive lawsuit the first time a woman suffers TSS from a “free” government-supplied tampon obtained from a “state run bathroom.”

Put a sock in it...

[Dilbert San Diego]

LOL, ya Melissa Harris-Perry on MSNBC wears tampons as earrings to make political statements,.......

[NorthMountain]

A sock might not be big enough ...

[BitWielder1]

Do I get free shaving gear? After all, the other half of the world's population need it.
(And some women too.)

[Still Thinking]

Well, you don’t expect them to buy their own fashion accessories, do you?

BTW, what do the boys get? Free condoms?

[miss marmelstein]

When I worked in offices, they were invariably 10 cents - maybe subsidized? What I hated was the creepy girls who would feed the machine dimes and basically take all of them. That was mean.

[Still Thinking]

Spatial-Americans I believe is the vogue.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

They are also used to pack a severe nasal hemorrhage.

[Paladin2]

A free raft of them could do good work as shop rags.

Can we start a fund. A pledge drive of sorts. Send your used or unused tubular femie products to

I am not a lawyer, nor do I pretend to be one, however what if these free tampons were found to be defective and cause illness or death in the woman using them. Who would be liable for any injury or death?

I prefer the term “Carbon Based Entities” becisse it is more inclusionary....it doesn’t leave out furries and the such.
