The Letter

Subject Prevent Comstock Act Enforcement Against Medication Abortion

The Comstock Act of 1873 has not been used to restrict abortion access in over a century. Reactivating it to ban mailing medication abortion would cut off access for the majority of patients who now use pills for early pregnancy care. Oppose any enforcement of the Comstock Act against medication abortion and support legislation clarifying it does not apply to legal healthcare.

I'm calling to ask the Senator to co-sponsor the Stop Comstock Act.
63% of all abortions in the U.S. are now medication-based. The FDA approved mifepristone 26 years ago. The serious complication rate is below 0.4%.
Anti-abortion groups are pushing the DOJ to use the Comstock Act of 1873 to ban mailing abortion medication. That would function as a nationwide ban even in states that protect access.
An 1873 law should not override 26 years of FDA-approved medicine. Congress needs to act before the DOJ does.
I'm a constituent. Please co-sponsor the Stop Comstock Act and force a floor vote.
