I don't agree with this bill about menstruation. It's just too much. Why do we need a whole month dedicated to talking about periods? It's a natural bodily function that women have been dealing with for centuries. I don't see the point in making such a big deal out of it. How will this bill actually help women in the short term?

I fully support the designation of May as "National Menstrual Health Awareness Month". It's important to recognize the impact that stigmatization of menstruation has on women, girls, and people who menstruate. Let's work towards breaking down barriers and promoting menstrual health education.

I just don't understand why this is necessary. It's sad that we have to designate a whole month to talk about something so personal and private. It's just not something that needs to be brought into the spotlight like this. I wish we could focus on more important issues facing our country.
