Democrats, worried about future of medication abortion, push to repeal Comstock Act

The blueprint, referring to Comstock’s place in federal law, calls for “announcing a campaign to enforce the criminal prohibitions in 18 U.S. Code §§ 1461 and 1462 Against Providers and Distributors of Abortion Pills That Use the Mail.” It states: “Following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, there is now no federal prohibition on the enforcement of this statute. The Department of Justice in the next conservative Administration should therefore announce its intent to enforce federal law against providers and distributors of such pills.”
