Repeal Comstock Act, protect reproductive rights

To: Sen. Blackburn, Rep. Burchett, Sen. Hagerty

From: A constituent in Knoxville, TN

March 28

The outdated Comstock Act from 1873 is a dangerous law that prohibits the mailing of essential reproductive healthcare supplies and medication, including abortion pills and contraceptives. This draconian restriction infringes on our fundamental rights and could enable anti-abortion extremists to severely limit access to abortion and birth control nationwide. We must act swiftly to repeal this archaic legislation before it is weaponized to strip away hard-won freedoms. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Tina Smith have introduced the Stop Comstock Act, a crucial step towards safeguarding reproductive rights by repealing this oppressive law. I urge you to cosponsor and vigorously advocate for the passage of the Stop Comstock Act to protect our constitutional liberties and ensure equitable access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare services.
