Jack, sign the petition: Protect abortion and reproductive freedom. Repeal the Comstock Act now!
Sign the petition
The outdated Comstock Act of 1873 has resurfaced, jeopardizing access to medication abortions, which make up over 60% of all abortions in the U.S. This archaic law is now being used to challenge the legality of abortion pills and could lead to a nationwide ban on reproductive freedom.
Anti-abortion extremists have revived the Comstock Act, using it to pressure pharmacies and support legal arguments against reproductive freedom. This law, with its potential to impose severe penalties, overrides state protections and fundamentally contradicts our modern understanding of health care and personal freedom. This law must be immediately repealed by Congress in order to protect abortion access and reproductive freedom.
Sign the petition to demand Congress protect reproductive freedom and repeal the Comstock Act.

Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Below is an email that we sent you earlier about abortion access.
Jack, Congress must repeal the outdated Comstock Act of 1873, which has resurfaced as yet another threat to reproductive rights in the United States. This archaic law, once dormant, is now being manipulated by conservatives to undermine our reproductive freedom.
Sign the petition: Protect abortion and reproductive freedom. Repeal the Comstock Act now!
SIGN THE PETITION
Recent legal challenges are attempting to make use of the Comstock Act to obstruct access to essential reproductive healthcare, particularly medication abortions, which account for at least 63% of all abortions in the U.S.
As legal battles over the safety and regulation of medication abortion like mifepristone escalate, the potential revocation of FDA approval poses a severe risk not only to abortion access but to the broader authority of federal regulatory agencies and the pharmaceutical industry at large.
Recent interpretations by Justices Thomas and Alito have exacerbated fears, suggesting a judicial willingness to expand the scope of this outdated law to restrict reproductive rights further.
It is imperative that Congress act now to prevent the misuse of this antiquated law from causing irreparable harm to millions of Americans seeking safe and legal access to reproductive health care.
Sign the petition: We demand our legislators take immediate action to repeal the Comstock Act and remove this dangerous obstacle to safe and legal abortions.
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
Mayra Souza, Daily Kos
