It’s Comstock Act Awareness Month and Abortion AF has a bunch of ways you can help eradicate this this crusty, musty federal censorship law from the body politic!  

Learn How The Comstock Act Of 1873 Could Could Destroy Access to Abortion in 2025

The Comstock Act is a law that bans sending anything through the mail anything which a 19th-Century man named Anthony Comstock deemed “obscene or pornographic.” This doesn’t just include fun stuff like dildos and sexy magazines, but ALSO contraception, medical textbooks and “every article, instrument, substance, drug, medicine or thing” that could lead to an abortion. Yeah, it’s awful.

SO WHO IS THIS MONSTER?

Check out our ‘zine and watch our exclusive interview with “Comstock himself” to get all the tea on this 19th Century puritanical killjoy and how he single-handedly created one of the most threatening laws to our bodily autonomy.

Ok, Sure. Dude’s A Creep, But Would Modern Day Politicians REALLY Try To Enforce The Comstock Act?

YEP! They already are.

Justice Clarence Thomas warned the manufacturer of the abortion pill mifepristone, “Mailing your product and advertising it would violate the Comstock Act.”

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito called The Comstock Act a “prominent provision” and not some “obscure section of a complicated law.”

145 GOP Senators and Congressional members urged SCOTUS to use Comstock to ban mifepristone, claiming the FDA “blatantly disregarded” the law by allowing abortion pills by mail.

Project 2025 advises that the Comstock Act should be used to ban abortion.
