In the very first episode of Mad Men, Peggy Olson goes to the gynecologist seeking a prescription for the pill.

Send Condoms to Republicans, Give Money to Democrats
Planned Parenthood must think that the conventions are just big orgies. They're asking supporters to send condoms to the Republican National Convention along with money, of course, that will go to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Barack Obama's campaign.
