Rick Perry’s FB Page Flooded With Period Jokes In Healthcare Protest


If you ever chased your older brother with red paint-covered tampons out of revenge (I know, I’m twisted), you’ll get a kick out of the women who defaced former presidential candidate Rick Perry’s Facebook page and even consulted him on menstruation since the conservative governor seems to be the end-all source on women’s health.

In the aftermath of Perry cutting funds for women’s health services, females took to the Texan’s Facebook wall to ask for his expert opinion:

“Hi there, Rick. I was wondering if you had any advice about what to do about mid-cycle cramping. Since my healthcare decisions are OBVIOUSLY better understood by politicians, I thought maybe I could get your advice. Thanks bunches!”

It only gets more awkward:

“Since you know so much about my healthcare, I was wondering if you could tell me how to handle my period since it is very heavy 4 days out of every month. What is the best product so I can have a productive day during these times or do you think I should just stay at home and call in sick or better yet quite my job since I can’t make my own decisions maybe I shouldn’t be working. What is your medical position on this issue?’’

The winner, however, is this lady:

“Governor, I have this unusual discharge, but I don’t have any health insurance right now. You’re an expert in women’s health, though – could you take a look?”

Who needs to run for president when you’re well on your way to becoming a top candidate to teach family life and puberty to elementary school students? We’ve seen this somewhat amusing response before and are glad this brings to mind that awesome gym scene in “Mean Girls” (you know which one I’m talking about), but let’s try to be adults and lose our middle school defense mechanism of scaring men with period talk.

    They’re going to film a remake of “Dirty Harry” with a female detective.  It’ll be called “Dirty Harriet” and her line will be:  “Feeling lucky punk?  Go ahead…make my month”.

    Someone should have aborted Rick Perry.

    You can tell the above commenter doesn’t know what he’s talking about by the words he uses, and the order in which he puts them!  (Also, the apostrophe mistakes help.)

    SO BRAVE.

    You know those sonograms that Rick Perry is making women receive before getting an abortion?  All those women should mail those sonograms to RP with a note that says “not your decision.”

    Or I’m so close to the truth that it makes you nervous.  And I’m a she, not a he.

    Yes, how awful to ask a woman to look in the face of her baby before she snuffs out it’s life.  The “logic” of you libs is odd. 

  • TKS

    So, while we’re talking about logic, can we talk about the logic behind these draconian anti-choice laws?  They aim to reduce abortion through sweeping illegality, invasive procedures, and shame.  Will these strategies lead to a reduction of abortion?  No.  It will reduce the amount of safe abortions.  It isn’t the most moral, nor the most effective way of achieving the goal of reducing abortion.

    Instead of making it illegal, let’s make abortion unnecessary:

    We should embrace comprehensive sex education that gives students the tools to safely make decisions that are right for them, instead of trying to scare them into abstinence.  

    We should work to remove the stigma of being pregnant.  Single and unwed pregnant women are seen as pariahs.  If we want abortion to end, we can’t continue to tell women that both abortion and being pregnant is wrong.

    Lastly we should increase the availability of contraception.  We shouldn’t be saying that women taking contraception are only doing it so they can sleep around.  There is nothing innately evil about wanting to control your body, or the size of your family.  Whether this is done through natural or medical (and more effective) means should be the choice of the woman and her doctor.  Not a politician, a clergyman, or employer (referencing the gestating Arizona law).

     If we want our abortion rate to drop or dissappear, we should look at countries that have low abortion rates, countries that are doing these things, and follow their example.  The policies raised by these GOP “pro-life” politicians go directly against them.

    The problem isn’t abortion, the problem is the environment that makes abortion necessary.

    Snuffing the life out of an unborn child is ALWAYS the problem.

     Ummm nature’s god does it all the time so what is the difference? And what is the difference between abortion and sending our boys off to war to be killed? Nothing.

    The fact that Texas was burning while Nero Perry was gallivanting around the country may quickly change how he stands in America’s voters eyes.
