Right-wing extremists are threatening to use the 150+ year old Comstock Act to bypass Congress and ban abortion nationwide. We commend Rep. Becca Balint for meeting this moment by introducing the Stop Comstock Act to eliminate this threat and protect our reproductive rights.

Amber Thurman & Candi Miller should be alive today. Instead they both lost their lives after GA’s abortion ban made it impossible for them to receive life-saving abortion care.

Last month we reimbursed telemedicine abortion providers $75,000 for losses incurred while providing thousands of abortion pills at reduced costs to people in states where abortion is restricted or banned!

We reimbursed telemedicine providers $75,000 for abortion pills sent to thousands of patients in banned states in July!

Recently the Washington Post featured an op-ed asserting that in seeking to repeal the Comstock Act, “progressives have conjured a new terror.”

Today, the Supreme Court punted on Idaho and Moyle, et al. v. United States, sending the case back to the lower court to avoid making a decision before the election. Healthcare Across Borders ED Jodi Jacobson, released the following statement in response: healthcareacrossborders.org/news/press-s...

The very existence of the Idaho law and other abortion bans is due to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by an illegitimate, stolen, and corrupt Supreme Court, beholden to a rabidly anti-democratic and anti-science movement unconcerned with public health. The only way to protect our health and fundamental rights is to expand the court. We must restore evidence and sanity to the justice system.

"The Comstock Act appeals to them for the same reason it appealed to its namesake. Sweeping and arbitrary power, moral castigation, and most of all, cruelty." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

There’s no time left for complacency. As the right ramps up its campaign for a national abortion ban, we’re sounding the alarm for Congress to #CancelComstock. Learn more (w/ @takebackthect.bsky.social @ultraviolet.bsky.social): healthcareacrossborders.org/wp-content/u...

Arizona Dems have demonstrated that you CAN overturn draconian abortion bans. It’s not that hard: Listen to evidence and to the people and act on their behalf. Now it’s Congress’ turn to do the same.

This all has led to one conclusion: a Supreme Court that's become an "agenda-driven, unelected lawmaking body whose decisions have systematically been opposed by the majority of Americans." Decisions which have consistently resulted in rolling back our fundamental & civil rights.

Whether it's the confirmation process that's become more contentious, or the decreasing number of Americans actually represented by the senators who confirmed these justices, the Roberts Court has become beholden to fewer and fewer people.

Today, as SCOTUS heard arguments in a case about whether Idaho’s near-total abortion ban overrides federal law protecting access to emergency abortions in hospitals across the country, California AG Rob Bonta shows once again why CA is leading the charge to get people the care they need.
