Support Dignity and Equity
 

My faith calls me to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of all people. Denying women the tampons and sanitary napkins they require during their menstrual period denies their worth and dignity. Making them pay for these supplies denies them equity. I fully support the amendment to 6VAC15-40-770.
