MFennVT<p>An item from last week: <a href="https://vermont.masto.host/tags/Vermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vermont</span></a> Rep. <a href="https://vermont.masto.host/tags/Balint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Balint</span></a> has reintroduced the Stop Comstock Act. The bill would repeal the portions of the Comstock Act that anti-choice extremists intend to misuse to enact a nationwide abortion ban. Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn) introduced the Senate companion bill. The House bill is cosponsored by 110 other House Democrats and 23 Senate Democrats. <br><a href="https://balint.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=471" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">balint.house.gov/news/document</span><span class="invisible">single.aspx?DocumentID=471</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>Senator Cortez Masto, Colleagues Introduce Legislation to Repeal the Comstock Act - </p><p>The Stop Comstock Act would repeal language in the Comstock Laws that could be used by an anti-abortion administration to ban the mailing of mifepristone and other drugs used in medication abortions, instruments and equipment used in abortions, and educational material related to sexual health</p><p><a href="https://www.cortezmasto.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cortez-masto-congress-must-act-now-to-protect-dreamers-from-deportation/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cortezmasto.senate.gov/news/pr</span><span class="invisible">ess-releases/cortez-masto-congress-must-act-now-to-protect-dreamers-from-deportation/</span></a></p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ComstockAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComstockAct</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Comstock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comstock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abortion</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Warren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Warren</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Masto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Masto</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Balint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Balint</span></a></p>
Chuck Darwin<p>Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal law that bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, </p><p>worried that a future Trump administration could invoke the <a href="https://c.im/tags/ComstockAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComstockAct</span></a> to crack down on abortion access or effectively ban the procedure altogether.<br>
“There is a very clear, well-organized plan afoot by the <a href="https://c.im/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> Republicans to use <a href="https://c.im/tags/Comstock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comstock</span></a> as a tool to ban medication abortion, and potentially all abortions,” said Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.), <br>who on Thursday plans to introduce legislation to repeal the Comstock Act’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abortion</span></a> provisions. </p><p>⭐️“My job is to take that tool away.”⭐️<br>
Democrats’ push to defang the 151-year-old law comes less than five months before a presidential election <br>in which reproductive rights appear destined to play a defining role. </p><p>But the party’s mixed reaction to the plan underscores the balancing act between policy aspirations and political realities.</p><p>
Sens. Elizabeth <a href="https://c.im/tags/Warren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Warren</span></a> (D-Mass.), Catherine Cortez <a href="https://c.im/tags/Masto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Masto</span></a> (D-Nev.) and other Democrats have signed on to the legislation, <br>according to Smith’s office. </p><p>Rep. Becca <a href="https://c.im/tags/Balint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Balint</span></a> (D-Vt.) will introduce companion legislation in the House, <br>and in an interview she said she believed House Democratic leaders support the effort.</p><p> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/06/20/comstock-abortion-repeal-tina-smith-senate/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/health/2024</span><span class="invisible">/06/20/comstock-abortion-repeal-tina-smith-senate/</span></a></p>
