SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A woman who opposes mandatory childhood vaccinations has been charged with two felonies over allegedly flinging a cup of menstrual blood at state senators last year.

The Sacramento County district attorney's office on Thursday filed charges of assault on a public official and vandalism against 43-year-old Rebecca Dalelio of Santa Cruz County.

Senators had finished taking a vote Sept. 13 when Dalelio allegedly tossed the blood onto the floor of the Senate from the public gallery, saying "that's for the dead babies."

She is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.
