Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Twitchy.com: “Beto O'Rourke uses #NationalPeriodDay to promote his Menstrual Equity Act”. Below is an excerpt from the article.

We were just going to leave Beto O’Rourke’s contribution to #NationalPeriodDay as a footnote to our post on Julián Castro and his concern about people having to choose between work and tampons, but O’Rourke’s tweet has caught on with so many people that it’s earned his own post. While Castro is concerned with the oppressive sales tax on feminine hygiene products, O’Rourke is worried that women in prison don’t have access to the products they need, which is why he’s proposing the Menstrual Equity Act.
