Background
We do not get a choice in having periods. It's a biological inevitability for almost all women, and we should not have to pay for feminine products for something we do not get a choice in. Diabetics do not get a choice in needing their medications, and women do not get a choice in bleeding for 1 week in every 4. If Scotland can do it, we can do it. If we can do it, so can other countries. In Britain, i would like to think we are ahead of basic standards.
