Creeping ever closer to "The Handmaid's Tale"

This is really scary, and an example of what I'm talking about when I say that women are going to be negatively impacted by Bush's reelection in a way that many people just don't get. (My friend who likes to tease me about Kerry's loss may feel a little differently about it if his wife can't get a refill on her birth control pills!)

On a related note, I have a dim recollection of somebody important at UC Santa Cruz, perhaps a chancellor, who was said to have been one of the plaintiffs in a landmark case in the 1960s concerning birth control... something about him and his wife not being permitted to get condoms?
