Tampons Confiscated, Guns Allowed as Texas Senate Debates Abortion – The Atlantic

Seems like some members of the Texas State Troopers need to lose their freaking jobs.

If the decision was based on the need to protect legislators the fact that guns were allowed through strongly suggests a willful dereliction of duty.

Any other rational for the decision to confiscate birth control and feminine sanitary products but not actual weapons indicates crass prejudice.

At best, it was insensitive and wholly unprofessional but whether it was gross incompetence or malicious abuse of power, the troopers involved should be relived of their badges.
