We Need To Kill The Zombie Comstock Act Before It Does Real Damage – Above the Law



Ed.
Note:

Welcome
to
our
daily
feature

Trivia
Question
of
the
Day!



Reading
the
tea
leaves

after
the
oral
arguments
in FDA
v.
Alliance
for
Hippocratic
Medicine

seems
to
indicate
mifepristone
is
safe
for
now,
but
also
revealed
some
justices
may
be
willing
to
ban
the
abortion
drug
under
the
dormant
Comstock
Act.
Which
congressperson
became
the
first
to
propose
repealing
the
Comstock
Act
before
it
can
be
used
that
way?


Hint:
The
law
bans
mailing,
possessing,
or
selling
“obscene
materials,”
which
specifically
includes
medicine
or
instruments
used
in
abortions.
The
1873
law
is
in
danger
of
being
revived
post-Dobbs.
