It occurs to me that one of the annoying things about the GOP's war on women is that I miss feeling like Sheri Tepper was over the top.

Wow--I have been a fan for decades--I never thought she was that over the top! This could be a great topic for paper, esp. in context of popularity of YAdystopias.

I'm reminded of the line about reactions to The Handmaid's Tale being "In Canada, they said, 'Could it happen here?' In England, they said, 'jolly good yarn.' In the United States, they said, 'How long have we got?'"

Mm, yes. Halcyon days…

There's a low-budget indie movie Rain Without Thunder set in a near future where all parties to an abortion are jailed. It's got some surprising actors in it, including Linda Hunt, and I thought it was completely over the top when I saw it back then.

No more.
