Dan LeMahieu of Wisconsin
I'm surprised I hadn't caught this issue before. Dan LeMahieu (R-Oostburg) has proposed legislation banning the dispensation of birth control and emergency contraceptives at University of Wisconsin campuses. It may not pass, but R. provided this recent link. The Wisconsin-Madison Badger Herald notes that the Wisconsin Attorney General has submitted an advisory opinion that the law is unconstitutional.
Don't you love when a state legislator who knows absolutely nothing about healthcare decides to pass a bill severely restricting it? The problem here is that this is a state university system, which would appear to implicate Eisenstadt v. Baird, and there's no rational relation to any policy initiative that wouldn't implicate protected privacy.
