Protesters keep the governor informed

The Facebook page, Periods for Pence, started late last month, features a grimacing photo of Mr. Pence and a request that women call the governor’s office to “report our periods.”

“You should really let him know, since he’s so concerned,” says an early post from the page’s anonymous creator, who identifies herself only as an Indiana woman. “It will only take a few minutes of your day, but it lets them face an undue and unjust burden, for a change!”

The page’s creator takes particular issue with the requirement that miscarried fetuses be interred or cremated, noting that “fertilized eggs can be expelled during a woman’s period without a woman even knowing” she is pregnant.

“I would certainly hate for any of my fellow Hoosier women to be at risk of penalty if they do not ‘properly dispose’ of this or report it,” the post says. “Just to cover our bases, perhaps we should make sure to contact Governor Pence’s office to report our periods.”

More than 32,000 people had liked that Facebook page as of Thursday, and an associated Twitter account had more than 1,600 followers. Though some Facebook commenters have defended the new law, scores of others have snarkily described their calls to Mr. Pence’s office or detailed their periods.
