It’s a strange sensation to start something as a joke, expecting that only your friends on Facebook will see it, and then all of a sudden to see it all over the internet. That’s what happened with my decision to report on my menstrual cycle to all of the Virginia legislators (not just the Republicans, contrary to popular news sources) who voted “yes” on HB462, the “mandatory ultrasound” bill.
Pro-choice groups took to the capital to protest a proposal to force all women to undergo ultrasounds before an abortion.

This morning women headed to Montgomery, Alabama to protest the forced ultrasound bill making it’s way through the statehouse.
