WTF is the #ComstockAct?
#comstockact
I wish men were as outraged about this issue as women are.

From: The Manhood Trap: From Epstein’s Island to Musk’s Baby Farm — How the Right Redefined Masculinity as Control
Underneath the memes, podcasts, and tradwife fantasies lies a dangerous agenda: train young men to reject equality, fear women’s power, and embrace authoritarianism disguised as masculinity
Something for progressive federalists: state postal services, with separate letter boxes.
Why?
1. Absentee mail voting in state and local elections without USPS issues;
2. Possible Postal banking;
3. Limited Protection from #ComstockAct and federal censorship;
4. Possible state census.

letter to #DoJ takes aim at the distribution of #mifepristone by mail. The #FDA has allowed providers to mail mifepristone to patients since 2021…But the letter, addressed to #actingAG James McHenry, asks him to take “immediate action” to implement the #ComstockAct, the 19th-century anti-obscenity law that made it a crime to mail “every article or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing #abortion.”
It’s been 150 years. Will Dems finally get the guts to take on Comstock?

"Trump’s second administration is all but guaranteed to impose major federal restrictions on #abortion access. These new limitations will apply nationwide, to states both red and blue, including those that just enshrined a right to protect abortion in their constitutions. It will be harder to access reproductive health care everywhere."
By Mark Joseph Stern
A victorious Donald Trump could try to ban abortion even without Congress going along.
The ONLY way to get reproductive freedom back on a federal level is to elect Kamala Harris and to have Congress to pass a law returning the rights which existed under Roe v. Wade.

Wxactly how Furhrer Trump could ban #abortion
The goal is. to "subordinate women's bodily autonomy to their preferred vision of gender roles,” Litman said.
Or as Prof. Amy Werbel wrote: "Today, women suffer once again under laws promoted by Christian nationalists who hold that women are subordinate to the will of men and God."
And who apparently believe, as Comstock did, that "women’s pain and even death in childbirth [is] God’s eternal retribution for their original sin."
#Project2025 aims to revive the #ComstockAct, an 1873 "Victorian purity law." The plan skips the legislative process & would apply even in states w/legal abortion.
The ultimate goal is to “subordinate women," says Leah Litman #InsideProject2025 #Velshi

I #Salute #KenanThompson for #Talking About the #ComstockAct at the #DNC.
The #comedian called out a specific #horrible #policy from #Project2025, which, if #implemented by a #GOP #president, could lead to #abortion being #banned #nationwide.

But despite #Trump’s efforts to avoid clarifying questions about his position on threats to #abortion #access via the #ComstockAct & fetal #personhood, there are a lot of reasons to believe the #GOP would, indeed, try to ban abortion nationwide if Trump is re-elected.
Tuesday’s letter cited some of these indicators & #JDVance’s support for them, including: [see pic]

Why do Democrats want to amend the #ComstockAct instead of repealing it? Comstock was a horrible person with deeply bigoted views towards women and queer people. Why should his name or inhumane agenda remain in US law in any capacity?
@laurahelmuth @annaleen
It’s like they crammed it full of all their…puritanical #fear & hate…
All their distorted, paranoid views on #sex & distilled it into this bill.
A destructive tool for all centuries.
As if you needed any more proof, folks…these people want to turn the clock back to the 19th century.
Before #women could #vote own property & had rights over her own body.
This is the goal.
Don’t doubt it…fight like hell. #comstockact
