“…While the first two terms are rarely used today in the media, the third term is commonly used as a verb (to cripple), as an adjective (crippled), and as an adverb (crippling) (Longmore, 1985 ;Zola, 1985) . It is not surprising that the stereotypes are deeply influential upon public policy in this society (Higgins, 1980;Hahn, 1985a ;Crispell & Gomez, 1988 ;Handberg, 1989) .

Testimony presented during the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (P. L . 101-336) indicated the continued existence of discrimination based upon a disability . Many persons, including academics, do not believe that such discrimination exists nor do they believe that some of the most threatening discrimination in the US is based in state law . This paper details these state laws (past and present) in the area of domestic relations and presents the historical cause for the enactment of the discriminatory laws . The Eugenics Movement using (somewhat wrongly) Darwin's evolutionary theory was and continues to be the force behind them . Policy implications are presented in the conclusion.
