Title: Rumor: GOP wants to ban Tampons

In recent weeks, the GOP attack on contraceptives and women’s rights has been returning to the legislative tables, and causing a stir among women’s rights activists and media outlets nationwide.

Now it seems that many within the Republican party who strive to ban contraceptive use also see it as a necessity to prohibit the use of tampons, and seek to ban the sales of these and similar products as soon as possible.


Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) recently put together an all male panel for discussion at the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on the contraceptive coverage rule and excluded women from the conversation. It seems that he is set to establish a similar group of men to discuss the use of tampons within a woman’s vagina.

It is unnatural for a woman to insert a foreign object into her body for the sake of stopping the menstrual flow. I, as well as several others seek to eliminate the sales of such objects. Women should let nature take care of itself the way that our Almighty Creator intended. To try to manipulate and control such an occurrence goes against God’s plan for women.

Initial drafts of this new legislation have already been brought before Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), and several other GOP Congressmen. It is likely to come to a vote as early as next month. If passed, tampons will no longer be available to sell or purchase, and women will have to find an alternative means to alleviate menstrual excreta.

Several Democratic Congresspeople are already petitioning in dissent of this new piece of legislation, and will not give up without a fight to preserve a woman’s right to take care of her own body as she deems most effective.

As believable as the "War on Women" BS?

Maybe the 'RATS should take responsibility for their War on Christmas, their War on Children, their War on Seniors, and their War on Christians before lying about the party of personal responsibility and family values... just a thought...

I wish there were a war on those awful things.  Is 'rats' your new racist term?

You get an F for trolling, unlike the tampon story which is an A. You join the forum today and start spewing your bilge immediately. You have nothing of substance to contribute and you simply rant like a rabid dog. My hunch is that you'll be banned rather soon.

The first part I generally oppose (being in favor of a secular society). The second part I generally support (being against a large-scale welfare state).

I'm rather too busy with high school to do my utmost to undermine Christian values, though.

Well you sound like one of these young libertarian good-for-nuthins who will destroy the country your elders worked so hard to build....

No, they smoke pot a few times around age 20, have 3-4 girlfriends instead of 1-2 during their lifetimes, and waste their entire existence in toils just like you guys did - and at half the pay!  So don't worry, on the whole they're better for master.

This is completely false.  I support access to contraception but don't think that organizations that oppose it should be required to cover it in their health insurance.  And it was Republicans who fought to give women the right to vote, while it was mostly Democrats who opposed it.  The list of Republican women, past and present, goes on and on: Clara Barton, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Ginger Rogers, Jane Russell, Doris Day, Margaret Chase Smith, Jeanette Rankin, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter, and many more.

The story was not al that much believable, there were a few too caricatural traits to it.

Really the GOP would ban Dildos/Vibrators first; those are for sexual pleasure, not health.

There's a reason NORAD tracks Santa every year.  And given how the season starts earlier and earlier each year, maybe we should declare war!

Just take him down by unmanned drone. No declaration of war required.
