They will be policing and punishing women, doctors, and liberal states

I promised you more info on what a second Trump term would look like and I’m keeping that promise. Brace yourself. Conservatives are coming for your abortion access and your birth control.

The Supreme Court is taking a case on restricting mifepristone, the most widely used abortion pill in the country. Project 2025, a pet project of the Heritage Foundation, wants to go even further. According to their 887-page blueprint for banning abortion and contraception, if Republicans regain the White House, they want to resurrect the Comstock Act while they try to force the FDA to rescind its approval of mifepristone.

Ya know how I’m always saying the Republicans want to drag us back to the 1950s? The Comstock Act is 150 years old. This is how antiquated their thinking is. The Comstock Act, in case you are not familiar with it, outlaws “sending or receiving through the mail any ’article, instrument, substance, drug, medicine or thing’ that could be used to facilitate an abortion.”

So, does that mean you will no longer be able to order hangers or knitting needles online? Asking for a friend.
