Texas Senate confiscates tampons while debating anti-abortion bill [W:155]

I could not care less what side of the argument you are on, the idea of confiscating tampons is rather amusing. Then when you compare that to the fact they were okay with people carrying deadly weapons, it's just absolutely hilarious.

Really? How were they warned?

People were talking about this kind of protest before hand correct? I consider that a warning. Even beyound that...

I have had all my bags searched at airports for simply wearing an insulin pump. Had to leave my gun behind at many places that should not be. The building I work at has not one black resident, not one by design. The world is not fair and that is that. They have the right to do crazy things in the name of security. It has from in recnet years come from both sides. I decided long ago to just do what they say.

You can get all indignant etc and scream your rights are being violated. In the end just give up the item and move on.

Was there a watch list of people to steal tampons from? Because otherwise you're punishing innocent people for the behavior of others, and you're not even being intelligent about it. Steal their urine, steal their feces, steal their heavy objects and so on, but unless you're going to steal their clothes you shouldn't be stealing their hygiene products.

So in other words the authorities didn't warn anyone they would be stealing private property they had a legitimate right to carry and a legitimate use for while in the capital building. Thanks.

Redress said:
Ummm...guns where allowed according to the reports.

And not everything is about ****ing guns for god's sake. Not everything is comparable to guns. Not every ****ing thread is about guns. Do you have a medical condition that having a gun on your person helps handle?

Guns are not allowed and that is an example to the main point. As for the rest you make it seem like they spread their legs and said give em up? This was not the case.

The hilarious part of this is you guys have no clue as to how you look to outsiders. You turn people off and harm your causes by this kind of stupidity.

And your overreaction does exactly the same.

I don't even know who these infamous "outsiders" are? And I am supposed to care what they think? That Red, is hilarious.

It happens at airports and other places as well. Get over it and leave the hyperbole at the door.

You might want to check your facts. Guns in fact are allowed, and where allowed. Your exageration of what I said is a prime example of why you look silly. I never said nor implied they removed them in use. That is just something you had to make up.

And your overreaction does exactly the same.

You have never met people who are middle of the road? Who can be persuaded on issues?

Oddly, many of us liberals defended the Tea Party when accused of being racist based on a few. We are not hypocrites. Can you stand the same scrutiny?
 
Re: Guns Yes, Tampons NO! Welcome to Texas, Y'all!

nota bene said:
I refuse to be outraged by tampon-confiscation, and as I've said, once women began complaining that Kirk Watson listened, the decision was reversed.

And Black Manta is right: "This is about people having a right not to be assaulted when legally gathered. The item is irrelevant, the cause is irrelevant. Go and protest, that is your right. You do not have a right to assault anyone with ANY item, period."

What is it about guns not killing people? Tampons don't throw themselves. Maybe instead of confiscating legal property, you deal with the troublemakers.

Really? They steal tampons at the airport?

Even if they did, don't they clearly post a list of the kinds of things they won't allow through? Don't bother answering, because they do, and those morons didn't.

I have never once called the Tea Party movement racist. Don't judge me for the actions of others. You don't even know what my political views are.

Oh, okay. So you like being a bigot and think that whole presumption of innocence thing is a line of crap. Good to know.

Show me. I'm not taking your word for it.

Also, you forgot to respond to the rest of my post. Do they clearly announce -- either with a sign, or with regular PA announcements, or on their web site -- the kinds of things they will be taking? Because they do, and those jackasses in the capital didn't. Thanks for playing.
