Okay pardon my ignorance but what is the deal with the whole handmaidens tale? I'm lost!
It’s a parody story from the Babylon Bee News https://babylonbee.com/news/amy-coney-b ... h-liberals
It's actually a bit deeper than that. The Babylon Bee story is referring to a 'controversy' stirred up in a fake news article first published by Newsweek. In that article, titled, "How Charismatic Catholic Groups Like Amy Coney Barrett's People of Praise Inspired 'The Handmaid's Tale'", they posited that the base storyline in the dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood was inspired by a a group that Barrett belongs to.

This proposed link was completely debunked by Constance Grady on Vox this month. Apparently, the book was inspired by a different group named People of Hope, not Barrett's group People of Praise.
