New Strategy in Attack on Indiana Abortion Law

New York Times (Apr. 8, 2016): "Periods for Pence" Campaign Targets Indiana Governor over Abortion Law, by Mitch Smith:

Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed Indiana's draconian abortion bill into law on March 24th.  Now, a campaign to call attention to the unbelievably restrictive law has emerged on Facebook.  In an unusual strategy, the campaign, Periods for Pence, features a call for women to contact the governor's office "to report our periods."  The campaign is meant to call specific attention to the requirement that miscarried fetuses be interred or cremated. 

“I would certainly hate for any of my fellow Hoosier women to be at risk of penalty if they do not ‘properly dispose’ of this or report it,” one post says. “Just to cover our bases, perhaps we should make sure to contact Governor Pence’s office to report our periods.”

As of 3:00 p.m. Friday, Periods for Pence has more than 41,000 likes.
