This past June, during what should have been a pride-filled, celebratory season, the uterus took center stage in a series of controversial events.
On Monday, June 20, the Hawaiʻi state governor signed a new law making menstrual products free and accessible at all public schools in the state. By the end of the week, Friday the 24th, the United States Supreme Court overturned the nearly 50 years of federal abortion rights granted by the Roe v. Wade ruling.
