Re: Sign this: We can stop anti-abortion extremists if we act now

Friend, [sign the petition: Protect abortion and reproductive freedom. Repeal the Comstock Act now!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Anti-abortion extremists have [weaponized]( the Comstock Act–a 150 year old "chastity" law enacted to prevent the distribution of "lewd" materials. In particular, conservatives are seeking to use this draconian relic to prohibit the distribution by mail of the drugs used for medication abortion. Given that medication abortion accounts for at least [63% of all U.S. abortions](, this would severely restrict abortion [nationwide](, even in blue states, as it would override state-level protections for abortion care. We can stop this right now. Congress can repeal the archaic Comstock Act and protect our reproductive health care access. We are demanding they do just that–immediately! [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, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding Congress repeal the Comstock Act: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, anti-abortion extremists continue to look for ways to attack abortion access and strip away our bodily autonomy. Now, they are grasping at a 150-year-old law, the Comstock Act, that could effectively lead to a nationwide abortion ban. [Sign the petition: Protect abortion and reproductive freedom. Repeal the Comstock Act now!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Anti-abortion cases aiming to eliminate FDA approval of medication abortion are citing the Comstock Act in court. In fact, ultra-conservative Supreme Court justices have even [raised]( the Comstock Act as a basis for further banning our access to reproductive health care. The [Comstock Act]( is a relic that has been ignored for decades. Revived by anti-abortion extremists as a dangerous weapon, this archaic law aims to suppress what was, at the time of it’s drafting, deemed to be obscene materials, which include the distribution of birth control and disseminating information on abortion through the mail. We cannot allow anti-abortion extremists any additional opportunities to attack our reproductive freedom, including nonsense, archaic laws that have no bearing on modern society. This law must be immediately repealed by Congress in order to protect abortion access and reproductive freedom.
