    Thanks for adding that. I was aware of those cases (also: the pill can make you stop having periods at all), hence why I wrote “suggested”.

    However, law enforcement can’t be trusted to give you the benefit of the doubt. Especially, if it’s illegal and persecution is especially politically motivated.

      yup.

      I can only imagine what someone like my ex would have to worry about in those places. The idea that something- for her- is totally normal would see her facing charges for things that never happened anyhow. It’s patent stupidity.

      This kid is smart, and whoever coached her… good job.

      Surely, surely law enforcement can’t investigate you for missing a period?

      It’s not uncommon to choose to skip periods to keep iron levels up, et cetera.

        In the states where an abortion is illegal with jail time as a repercussuon?

        I’d never want to risk it.
