As legislation in Texas moves forward to set special new restrictions and requirements on abortion, police have begun to confiscate items and search the bags of people entering the gallery to observe lawmakers.

Most of the left's outrage stems from confiscation of tampons and pads while guns are allowed if a permit exists. Thus the attention grabbing hyperbole of the thread subject. What most people fail I've heard decrying this is that Senator Kirk Watson (D) intervened to allow feminine hygiene products after the news reached him.

What do you reckon? I can understand police confiscating disruptive items, especially the less savory ones (jars of feces? Several jars of feces?) Allowing guns into the legislature is mentioned to encourage outrage, though you have to admit.. that's pretty weird.

I read the WaPo article, but it didn't go into as much detail as I liked.

I'm surprised by the votes so far. People disapprove of the police confiscating jars of poop?

How would they feel if I brought a gun that shoots tampons?

Sure. Just don't put it in a jar.

If everyone has a gun, then others are less likely to start trouble.

If everyone has an abortion, we can bring a halt to juvenile delinquency within eighteen years.

But we need people on our planet to continue our species. We could do an even better job at keeping our species alive if those with criminal intentions were constantly faced with the possibility of their victims being armed.

And we could do an even better job at keeping our species alive if those with criminal intentions didn't have guns.

Good luck getting guns from all criminals. I support background checks and felons not being allowed to own guns. They aren't idiot proof. Making it harder to have guns is like making it harder to have abortions.

Yes, I suppose it would be harder to shoot a fetus that way. I agree.
