2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWomen are flooding Trump campaign HQ with menstruation questions — here’s why
After Governor Mike Pence signed the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the country, an anonymous feminist activist began the movement, #periodsforpence. Now that Donald Trump has chosen the Hoosier governor to be his running mate, #tamponsfortrump has flooded Trumps HQ phone line with updates.
According to the Periods4Pence Facebook page:
Happy Monday, America! The voice of your vag, here, reminding you to let those fingers do the walking! Today we are encouraging women (all women, no matter your current uterine condition) to call both Trump HQ at 646-736-1779 AND the Republican National Convention at 216-263-2016. Do your civic duty! Does your vagina feel anxious? Depressed? Did it have a good weekend? Or maybe you are crampy, bloated, or just craving the hell out of a Kit kat. THEY NEED TO KNOW IT ALL! Report back and let us know how it goes. Happy calling!
The original protest began in response to Pences signing of Indiana House Enrolled Act 1337, a piece of omnibus antiabortion legislation that is vague enough that women could be jailed for having difficulties with their pregnancies. The law also forbids parents from choosing abortion if a fetus is revealed to have Downs Syndrome

Got voicemail. Said I wanted to volunteer but wasn't sure if it should be with Periods for Pence or Tampons for Trump. Juvenile, I know. But it felt pretty good.

Is there a website we can visit, or is this the only option to detail my menopause?
