Comstock Act Revival Targets Abortion Drugs | Lincoln News

Anti-abortion groups are rallying to revive the 150-year-old Comstock Act, arguing it should block mailing abortion drugs like mifepristone — a move they say could shut down mail-order access for millions in states with abortion bans. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the FDA eased restrictions on abortion medication, these organizations, including Mike Pence’s group, are pressuring new Attorney General Todd Blanche to overturn the Biden-era guidance that limited the law’s reach. They claim the Act applies broadly to all abortion-related materials — even risking to restrict other essential obstetric supplies. Legal battles are already heating up, as states sue to reinstate old rules, while advocates warn this could cripple reproductive care nationwide.
