What kind of job interview is she talking about where they will ascertain that your bra doesn’t fit and you don’t have a tampon?

So, how long will it be before the taxpayers are required to pay for ‘menstrual items’? I am sooooo glad Obama is out, because in Obamaland, a RIGHT is whatever the Left says it is.

“Can you imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have a bra that fit you for a job interview or if you had your period and you didn’t have access to a pad or a tampon?”

The only caring thing to do is to have these items provided by taxpayers for free!

We should be encouraging this type of project. Private citizens doing helpful things without the aid of our tax dollars. Quite honestly, good for her. We should be supporting this woman, not making fun.

This is not a service project. It’s OCD with a good public relations department.

Well, unlike the pink-hatted nutjobs down on the National Mall, she’s doing something to actually HELP women.

Because those evil Republicans want to take them away from women?

I think it’s a very kind thing to do.

If I had a dollar for every woman who has stopped me on the street looking for either a bra or a tampon...

There’s a ministry in Pennsylvania that provides food and necessities to areas demolished by floods and other catastrophe’s, mostly overseas. It’s connected with Campus Crusade for Christ.

My son was there to help with his church youth group. They were given scraps of fabric to cut into a certain pattern. It wasn’t until they were done cutting thousands of them that they were told they were making re-usable feminine products.

In Muslim countries, women have no access to disposable stuff and are just sent outside for one week a year. These things are truly life changing for them.

Kind of really icky and disgusting for the boys who were making them though.

Is anyone capable of buying any of the things they need and use? We have a zillion government programs for the poor, we have church ministries and pantries, we have private charities, but that’s not enough! Every time I turn around I hear about some group that is collecting some specific item for the needy. Here is a small list: blankets in winter, fans in summer, shoes for kids, mattresses for kids, coats for kids, school supplies, backpacks for kids, back-to-school haircuts for kids, meals at various holidays, toys for kids, work clothes for poor women going on interviews.... and I’m sure there are more. BTW, I still have blankets that I got decades ago. Do people really need new ones every year?

Now, one of my favorite shows is The First 48 that follows homicide detectives as they investigate murders. In many cases, the “poor” I see in these shows have nice clothes, expensive shoes, expensive manicures, expensive tattoos, gold teeth, satellite dishes on houses, and really, really nice vehicles. The poverty industry is a scam.

The only hungry people in the US are the homeless, who usually have mental health or addiction problems, and kids whose parents deliberately neglect or abuse them. The poor in the US live better than most of the rest of the world. Being poor now means not having everything you could possibly want that other people have.

It should be broadcast far and wide that poverty stats do not count non-cash government benefits. Someone could be getting a raft of “free” stuff and have a small income (not to mention what they get that they don’t report) and still be counted as living in poverty. BS!

>>and you didn’t have access to a pad or a tampon?

Is there a shortage or something? Is this like the Seinfeld episode about the contraceptive sponge?

Since then, she’s gathered more than 10,000 bras and her work has expanded to include menstrual items as well. “This has exploded,” Heger said.

EXPLODING BRAS!
