Repeal the Comstock Act!
.jpg)
The Comstock Act is a 150 year old outdated, dangerous law that could potentially make it illegal to mail abortion medication and equipment used to perform abortions. Anti-abortion extremists will use the courts, legislation, and any power grab they can to stop people from getting the reproductive healthcare they deserve—but we can fight back
U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Tina Smith introduced The Stop Comstock Act, which would repeal the Comstock Act and stop MAGA Republicans from misusing this law to block abortion care.
The Comstock Act of 1873 must be repealed now before it's too late!

Why is this important?
The Comstock Act—if enforced—is a law that prohibits the mailing of abortion medication, equipment used for abortion care, and contraceptives through the mail. Donald Trump and his anti-abortion Attorney General Pam Bondi could enforce this law and therefore restrict access to abortion. That's right: It's a backdoor to an abortion ban—as well as an attack on birth control, which the right wing has its targets set on.
Repeal the Comstock Act NOW! Stop anti-abortion extremists' efforts to push a nationwide medication abortion ban and to limit access to birth control and other reproductive health care.
