        Great and yes. Why not????!! Provide choices and let them choose. You would not want an ice cream shop that only offers vanilla would you?

        Sorry but this is America. Sexual organs do not determine ability to speak or vote. Why not tax only women to pay for it then?

        We ARE taxed for using them. They call it a "luxury tax" because apparently bleeding for 8 days every month is a luxury for me. Yay. 🙄

        Then the simple fix is make it non taxable like toilet paper and buy your own products. I'd go for that. I hate taxes anyway.

        Well that would be Lovely. Unfortunately, male politicians don't give a crap and won't pass any bills concerning this. It's been tried.

        Ikr...helping someone in need or less fortunate is a foreign concept to rethugs. One day they may need help and no one will b there...karma.

        Lousy writing. Not "free pads and tampons" rather school funded pads and tampons. Anything else taxpayers should provide?

        Gender doesn't dictate who gets free stuff. True equality is taking care of yourself and not being someone else's financial liability.

        Yeah that "I'm a woman, everyone else should pay for my lifestyle," doesn't fly. Raise your kids not to be freeloaders.
