Historian Steven K. Green's new book, "American Infidelity: The Gilded Age Battle Over Freethought, Free Love and Feminism," describes how 19th-century freethinkers fought religious laws such as the Comstock Act.

The Supreme Court recently preserved access to mifepristone, the medication used in nearly two-thirds of abortions in the United States. But according to Julia Kaye, Senior Staff Attorney with the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, the legal battle over medication abortion is far from over. In this episode of The Electorette, Kaye explains the ongoing Louisiana v. FDA litigation, why anti-abortion activists are increasingly focused on mifepristone, and how a little-known 19th-century law known as the Comstock Act could be used to restrict abortion access nationwide. We also discuss the Trump administration's review of mifepristone regulations, the future of medication abortion, and why reproductive rights advocates view the Supreme Court's latest ruling as a temporary reprieve rather than a final victory.

Project 2025 began as a 900 page manual, but over the past year it has started to feel less like a blueprint and more like a live script for American government. According to the Heritage Foundation, which leads the effort, the “Mandate for Leadership” is meant to prepare the next conservative administration to, in its words, “dismantle the administrative state” and restore what it calls constitutional government. In practice, that means a sweeping reimagining of how federal agencies work, who controls them, and what rights they protect. At the center is a quiet but profound bureaucratic revolution. The plan urges a president to reclassify tens of thousands of federal employees into an expanded version of “Schedule F,” making it far easier to fire civil servants in policy roles and replace them with political loyalists. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Project 2025 also recommends ending the independent status of watchdog agencies like the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, bringing them under direct presidential control. Supporters describe this as accountability; critics call it a path to one person rule inside the executive branch. The stakes become clearer when listeners zoom in on specific policy goals. The American Civil Liberties Union explains that Project 2025 calls for reviving the 19th century Comstock Act to block abortion medication and equipment from being sent through the mail, effectively creating a nationwide ban regardless of state law. The ACLU notes proposals to roll back nondiscrimination protections and to, as it puts it, “mandate discrimination against LGBTQ people by the federal government,” including excluding transgender Americans from military service. Economic and safety net programs are also in the crosshairs. Democracy Forward's “People's Guide to Project 2025” highlights proposals to cut overtime protections for an estimated 4.3 million workers, limit food assistance that more than 40 million people rely on each month, and even eliminate Head Start, the early education program that serves over a million children each year. The guide warns that authors of the plan claim much of this could be done without new laws from Congress, relying instead on aggressive executive action. Environmental policy is another major front. A report from the University of California, Berkeley's Center for Law, Energy and the Environment describes Project 2025 as a “radical overhaul” of climate and energy governance, calling for dismantling key climate initiatives, weakening the Environmental Protection Agency's authority, and prioritizing fossil fuel development over renewable energy. Supporters see all this as a long overdue correction. Heritage frames Project 2025 as a way to “advance positive change for America,” arguing that unelected bureaucrats have usurped power from elected leaders. Civil rights groups, environmental lawyers, and democracy advocates respond that the project amounts to what the ACLU calls “a roadmap for how to replace the rule of law with right wing ideals,” with profound implications for reproductive freedom, civil rights, and the balance of power in Washington. In the coming months, the key questions will be how far a president is willing to go in adopting this playbook, how courts respond, and whether Congress chooses to reinforce or resist these changes. For now, Project 2025 stands as a test of how much a modern White House can remake the machinery of government in just a few years. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more.

Justice Thomas stated that the Comstock Act bans using the mail to ship any “drug…for producing abortion.” Constitutional expert, lawyer, author, pastor, and founder of Liberty Counsel Mat Staver discusses the important topics of the day with co-hosts and guests that impact life, liberty, and family. To stay informed and get involved, visit LC.org.

This week on The Narrative, Aaron and David address the Supreme Court’s 7–2 ruling that blocked a 5th Circuit decision that had temporarily restricted mail-order abortion pills nationwide. Justice Thomas’s fierce dissent invoked the Comstock Act against mailing drugs, and the FDA Director Marty Makary’s abrupt resignation brought renewed hope to many pro-life advocates. On a related note, in Ohio, David recently testified in favor of House Bill 324, the Patient Protection Act, which mandates in-person doctor visits and bans mail delivery for high-risk drugs. The legislation effectively defeats pro-abortion objections at the Statehouse by neutrally targeting all high-risk medications rather than uniquely targeting abortion. After the news, Parker Thayer, a researcher with Capital Research Center and contributor to the Daily Wire, shares his insights on the massive Medicaid home-care fraud scheme in Ohio that proved the state’s optional GPS and signature verification systems failed to track actual patient care. Following the report's publication, Ohio implemented a total freeze on new home-care companies and restored mandatory GPS tracking. Listen now or queue up the podcast for your commute!

We are joined by guest co-host Professor Pam Karlan at the American Law Institute Annual Meeting for the last live show of season 6. We work through a busy stretch of the interim docket: the Alabama GVR in Allen v. Caster and what Callais has done to Section 2; the denied stay in the Virginia redistricting fight, Scott v. McDougle; and the mifepristone cases, Danco and GenBioPro v. Louisiana, where Thomas rides the Comstock Act alone and Alito takes it personally. Then a turn to executive power and the term's looming merits decisions—birthright citizenship, the Federal Reserve, Humphrey's Executor—before audience questions on state voting rights acts, fixing the single-member-district statute, and whether you can wish yourself more wishes.Key Topics[00:00:11] - Live show introduction at the American Law Institute with guest host Pam Karlan[00:02:30] - Fallout from Louisiana v.

The Supreme Court says abortion pills can still be mailed… FOR NOW! Which means Lizz and Moji have spent the last several days stress sweating through every twist, loophole, and terrifying little breadcrumb in this mifepristone decision. We break down what the ruling actually means, how Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito continue their quest to become the most divorced-from-reality men alive, and why anti-abortion extremists are still doing everything they can to drag abortion access back to the Stone Age using junk science, legal chaos, and the world's crustiest ideology.   AND because the universe refuses to let us rest for even one second, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is OUT. Depending on which weird little corner of the internet you ask, it's either because he wouldn't let kids rip bubblegum-flavored vape clouds in peace OR because anti-abortion lawmakers were furious he wasn't moving fast enough to ban abortion pills nationwide. Honestly? In this timeline, both sound possible.   GUEST ROLL CALL: The absolutely brilliant Solomon Georgio joins the Buzzkills this week, and trust us, we needed him. The comedian, TV writer, and professional destroyer of bad vibes talks with Lizz and Moji about dealing with hecklers, navigating MAGA comedy crowds, dating disasters, surviving America as a 6'4” Black queer immigrant, and somehow still remaining one of the funniest people alive while the country freefalls directly into the sun.   The news is unhinged, the lawmakers are embarrassing, and the vibes are medically concerning, but knowledge is power, rage is fuel, and we gotchu.   URGENT ACTION: Share Your Medication Abortion Story Now!

Radell Lewis breaks down the biggest political stories shaping America right now on this week's Purple Political Breakdown. First, the global movement to ban children from social media is gaining serious momentum Australia has already removed millions of underage accounts, Spain is holding platform executives criminally liable, and France, Denmark, the UK, and others are following suit. Discord is rolling out teen-by-default settings in March 2026. Meanwhile in the U.S., the Kids Off Social Media Act (KOSMA) awaits Senate action as half of all states now have age verification mandates. Radell weighs the privacy debate against children's safety and explains why the "they'll just go somewhere worse" argument doesn't hold up.Then, the deep dive: Project 2025 is no longer a boogeyman talking point it's policy. Trackers show the Trump administration has initiated roughly 53% of Project 2025's domestic proposals, with key authors like Russell Vought, Peter Navarro, and Brendan Carr now occupying the exact roles they wrote about in the Heritage Foundation's blueprint. Radell walks through Schedule F and what it means for 50,000 federal employees losing civil service protections, the DOJ's weaponization against political adversaries like James Comey and Letitia James, the tariff trade war and the pending Supreme Court ruling that could trigger over $100 billion in refunds, the EPA's historic rescission of the endangerment finding on climate change, DEI rollbacks, school vouchers, Planned Parenthood funding cuts, and what's still on the agenda including the Comstock Act.Plus: the DHS government shutdown explained, Democrats' demands for ICE accountability after Operation Metro Surge, the DOJ dropping charges against two Venezuelan men after ICE agents were caught lying under oath, the explosive Pam Bondi hearing on the Epstein files, the Trump-Harvard standoff, Trump Rx and whether it actually helps anyone, America's dropping corruption ranking, and why Americans are feeling less optimistic than ever. Radell wraps with good news including a breakthrough gene therapy for eye disease and AI-assisted breast cancer detection saving lives.New episodes every Sunday.

Adam Morgan discusses his new biography, A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls: Margaret C. Anderson, Book Bans, and the Fight to Modernize Literature (Atria/One Signal Publishers, 2025).  Morgan's book is the first biography solely devoted to Margaret C. Anderson, the founder of the avant-garde literary and arts magazine The Little Review, which she began publishing in Chicago in 1914. The influential Little Review showcased many famous writers of its time, including T.S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, Hart Crane, Sherwood Anderson and Hemingway. But it would become most celebrated—and notorious—for being the first publisher of James Joyce's towering modernist novel Ulysses. After putting out nearly two thirds of the novel in serial installments from 1918 through 1920, Margaret Anderson and her romantic partner and co-editor Jane Heap were charged and found guilty of obscenity under the Comstock Act for distributing Joyce's sexually frank passages through the mail. They were deemed "a danger to the minds of young girls."   A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls tells a very compelling story of an iconoclastic woman who was determined to make a space for difficult and challenging art and whose efforts changed forever what could be addressed in literature and what could be considered beautiful.  Adam Morgan is himself the founder of the indispensable Chicago Review of Books, and a great promoter of the literature of our city. We are especially thrilled to be having this conversation now, as we just began a six-month discussion group on Ulysses at our library. Listen to hear why Ulysses wouldn't exist without Chicago and how understanding Anderson's life helps reveal the true stakes, triumphs, and world-changing "dangers" of James Joyce's masterpiece.  Adam Morgan is a culture journalist and critic who lives near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. His writing has appeared in Esquire, WIRED, Scientific American, Inverse, The Paris Review, Los Angeles Times, and elsewhere. He writes a newsletter about forthcoming books called The Frontlist. He is the founding editor of the Chicago Review of Books, the Southern Review of Books, and the Chicago Literary Archive.  You can check out A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls in our Podcast Collection, featuring books and other materials by past guests of the show.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Adam Morgan discuss Adam's new book, A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls, which explores the life and legacy of Margaret C. Anderson. Margaret was a pioneering figure in modern literature, the founder of "The Little Review" in Chicago, and one of the key figures in fostering the Chicago literary renaissance. They talk about the challenges she faced, despite her initial successes, why her physical appearance often overshadowed her contributions, and the impact on young girls today that Margaret also faced during her time.     Key Takeaways: "The Little Review" served as a platform for uncensored conversations about literature and art, including experimental works that were often undiscovered during her time. The Comstock Act was a group of federal laws that banned the mailing of "obscene materials" and was upheld, in part, through censorship at what is now the USPS. This resulted in many copies of "The Little Review" being burned or otherwise destroyed before they could arrive at their subscribers. We are seeing the same rhetoric used by conservative lawmakers today that was used in the early 20th century against Margaret Anderson, despite no evidence to support it. They argued that if young girls read "obscene literature," they would turn to a life of immorality, prostitution, or partner with people not approved of by their parents.   "She was not a saint, but there were a lot of things to admire about her courage and her sense of agency." —  Adam Morgan   Connect with Adam Morgan: Professional Bio: https://adam-stephen-morgan.com/  Twitter: https://x.com/adamm0rgan  Book: https://adam-stephen-morgan.com/a-danger-to-the-minds-of-young-girls/  Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thefrontlist.org  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamm0rgan    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

New laws limit access to abortion and threaten doctors with prison. Religious zealots and opportunistic politicians team up to ban books about sex and to “protect” children from their “corrupting” influence. Sound familiar? Welcome to America in the late 19th-century under the Comstock Act, a federal law that prohibited the distribution of information about sex, contraception, or abortion through the U.S. Mail. SEX RADICAL, the latest film from award-winning writer/director Andy Kirshner, tells the story of one woman who dared to challenge that law, and its namesake, the puritanical “vice-hunter” and U.S. postal inspector, Anthony Comstock. Ida Craddock was a late-Victorian feminist, scholar, and sexual mystic who defied Comstock, face-to-face. Defending the right of a woman to “control her own person,” Craddock risked everything by publishing frank instructional pamphlets about sex. Though arrested multiple times, sentenced to prison, committed to an asylum, and forced to turn over her books for burning, Craddock was undeterred in her fight for women's sexual equality and her own First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and religion. The feminist icon, Emma Goldman, called her “one of the bravest champions of Women's Emancipation,” and Craddock's was the very first case to be taken up by the Free Speech League, a forerunner to modern civil liberties groups like the ACLU and PEN America.SEX RADICAL Press ReleaseSEX RADICAL Live Stream LinkWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://peculiarbookclub.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://eepurl.com/ixJJ2Y⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VIP Membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://payhip.com/PeculiarBookClub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PeculiarBookClub/streams⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peculiarbookclub.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/peculiarbooksclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thepeculiarbookclub⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

John Gerardi asks the tough questions about the Trump administration's slow action on restricting the abortion pill, including the FDA's approval of a new generic version. With Jonathan Keller, he explores the legal, political, and moral stakes of Mifepristone regulation, why it matters for abortion numbers nationwide, and the challenge of holding pro-life leaders accountable.  

Anti-abortion extremists are hard at work attacking access through the courts, policy, clinic harassment, and more. Simultaneously, the Trump administration's chaos—including RFK Jr.'s harmful actions as head of HHS—are continuing to disassemble comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights, brick-by-brick. Mini Timmaraju, President and CEO of Reproductive Freedom for All, sits down to talk with us about how anti-abortion extremists are endlessly and strategically beelining for abortion and contraception.One focus of attack centers on mifepristone, the first of two medications taken during a medication abortion. It is extremely safe and has been available on the market for 25 years. Yet, Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA out of Texas saw anti-abortion advocates arguing against mifepristone (despite FDA approval of hundreds of studies proving its safety). It was headed by anti-reproductive health and rights judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who has now sent the case to Missouri. Judge Kacsmaryk has referenced the Comstock Act, which would ban the mailing of abortion pills. For more information, check out Pantsuit Politics: https://www.pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/s/podcastSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Bryce Eddy talks with Roland Warren, President and CEO of Care Net, about the future of the pro-life movement beyond politics. They discuss why defunding Planned Parenthood may not be enough, the overlooked power of enforcing the Comstock Act, and how a “pro-abundant life” approach centered on church engagement, family restoration, and discipleship can address the root causes driving abortion. Roland also shares his personal story and calls for a shift from political podiums to the pulpit in creating lasting cultural change. Ready to JOIN THE FIGHT?

Your favorite Buzzkill duo are back at it with hot takes, hot guests, and plenty of RAGE! What went down this week in Abobolandia? Well… let's just start with a win—Ken Paxton: 0 Texas abortion provider, Dr. Margaret Carpenter: 1. HUZZAH! Also, what happens in West Virginia certainly won't stay in West Virginia—we're laying out the latest terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decision curbing access to medication abortion from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in West Virginia *barf*. AND we're making some sense of the clear-as-swamp water Kentucky case that makes us wonder—what do frozen eggs have to do with the right to sue? GUEST ROLL CALL!Joining the Buzzkills this week is Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU's LGBTQ & HIV Project, to break down the intersections of abortion care and trans care, and how the media (NOT SCIENCE) has literally done all of the work in forming anti-trans bias. PLUS!!! Showing up to FBK with the palate cleanser we all need is the FABU and ICONIC actress and recording artist Peppermint! She's showing us what trans resilience and JOY truly look like, and how she finds the strength to keep fighting. Scared? Got questions about the continued assault on your reproductive rights?

SPECIAL PODISODE! THREE YEARS SINCE THE FALL OF ROE? Woof. It's been a heavy three years and an even heavier past few weeks.  June 24th marks the 3rd anniversary of the fall of Roe (sobs). So, diving into what has happened to abortion access since then means bringing in THE BIG GUNS. It's big Buzzkill energy as Lizz welcomes the incomparable constitutional genius Dr. Michele Goodwin to talk about just how damn far we've fallen and what legal challenges are ahead. Also sharing her reflections is abortion provider extraordinaire, CEO of Whole Woman's Health, Amy Hagstrom Miller. Since the fall of Roe (and before) Amy has sued Texas, Indiana, and the federal government, all while providing abortion care in states like Maryland, Virginia and Minnesota. Amy also recounts the terror she and her Minnesota staff experienced as the antiabortion terrorist Vance Boelter was on the loose.This truly is an eye-opening episode that everyone should listen to. Scared?

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller expose new data revealing that Mifepristone complications are dramatically underreported and argue that mail-order abortion pills have outflanked state bans—so it's time to dust off the 1873 Comstock Act and stop abortifacients at the mailbox.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller, two “deeply unwell” hosts fighting off colds and pro-abortion lunacy, unpack the growing storm surrounding the abortion pill, unexpected praise for Josh Hawley, and whether Gavin Newsom accidentally became California's most pro-life governor (by doing math).

Anthony Comstock persecuted New York smut dealers and tavern owners until he found his target of choice—women who advocate for freedom, education, and equality. When ruining things for people in New York was not enough he pushed the Comstock Act into federal law—which is how the authors of Project 2025 plan to ban pornography and access to information about abortion. He persecuted trailblazing women like Victoria Woodhull and Margaret Sanger fueled by his weird obsessions and religious guilt.In this episode we encourage you to consider a donation to Planned Parenthood, which provides education and support services for sexual and gender related health.

And guess what? NO ONE is talking about it! We're diving in. But it's not all doom! We've got Dr. Jamila Taylor, President & CEO of the Institute for Women's Policy Research, breaking down their latest study on how abortion bans are reshaping the workforce—turns out, 1 in 5 people of reproductive age are relocating and demanding their employers step up on repro care. PLUS: JOY ALERT!

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Tyler McBrien and Roger Parloff, as well as special guest Claire Meynial, U.S. correspondent for Le Point, to talk over the week's big national security news, including:“Make Europe Aghast Again.” Vice President J.D. Vance stunned the Munich Security Conference last week with remarks that criticized European allies for suppressing far-right and anti-immigration voices while playing down threats from China and Russia. Combined with the Trump administration's past hostility to Transatlantic relationships, many are taking Vance's as a sign of a downgrade in the U.S.-Europe relationship. But is this overstating things? And how far can the Trump administration adjust the relationship on its own, even if it wanted to?“I Would Do Anything for Bove, but I Won't Do That.” (Credit to Robert Anderson, via Mike Stern.) The resignation of seven Justice Department attorneys over their refusal to move to dismiss charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams at the direction of acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has brought national attention to the Trump administration's apparent intent to use its discretion over criminal prosecution as a policy tool to advance its immigration and potentially other agendas. But what do these recent events tell us about the potential for—and limits on—such a strategy? “Animus Instinct.” The legal challenge to President Trump's executive order banning transgender individuals from military service and halting gender-affirming care finally had a hearing in federal court this week. And in a barnburner, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes raked the Justice Department over the coals, querying whether the ban was the result of “animus.” But how big a difference will her line of inquiry make in the end? Is there any realistic chance the courts will intervene?For object lessons, Roger recommended a visit to the Holocaust Museum as an opportunity for a sober reflection. Tyler passed along Noah Schachtman's portrait of the players in the Eric Adams resignation scandal in Vanity Fair. Scott passed along his new favorite vegetarian pasta recipe, pasta al sugo finto. And Claire discussed some of her work on abortion rights in advance of International Women's Day on March 8, including research into the Comstock Act. We value your feedback!

Abortion, and dildos, and porn, oh my! No but actually, there's a dusty old law on the books that could unravel reproductive health access for years to come—the Comstock Act. And it's just waiting for someone like the recently-confirmed U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to enforce it. On today's episode of Boom! Lawyered, Imani and Jess revisit how the Trump administration could effectively ban abortion without input from Congress—all thanks to the 19th century anti-obscenity law. The pair break down how Comstock became a strong tool for the anti-choice movement and how aggressive enforcement by Attorney General Pam Bondi could upend access to contraception and even dildos.Rewire News Group is a nonprofit media organization, which means that episodes like this one are only made possible with the support of listeners like you!

Inspired by the those who turned to us post-election and shared that relationships have become frayed or severed by the current political environment.

Bill talks with David Noll, one of the co-authors of Vigilante Nation. How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy. The new and important book examines the threat of state-sponsored vigilantism in the United States. The book traces the history of vigilantism in America, such as the Fugitive Slave Act, and Noll argues that the MAGA movement is now trying to institutionalize and normalize the use of vigilante power to enforce its agenda. Examples include Texas' bounty system for reporting on abortion providers, laws in states like Florida and Georgia that enable citizens to challenge voter eligibility, and efforts in states like Indiana and Florida to enable vigilantes to police teachers and libraries. Noll says these state-level experiments with vigilantism could be a blueprint for a future Trump administration to nationalize and further empower vigilante groups, such as by aggressively enforcing the Comstock Act to restrict access to abortion pills. When bill asks Noel what can be done he calls for Blue state legislatures to more actively push back against these state-level efforts to enable vigilantism, rather than leaving it unchallenged.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The United food and Commercial Workers Union.

After Texas passed a six-week abortion ban and Roe v. Wade was overturned, many abortion clinics had to close in the Lone Star state. Some providers considered opening clinics in eastern New Mexico, so that they could keep providing services to women from Texas and other states where abortion is banned. But some neighbors in eastern New Mexico were not so welcoming to this idea. In this episode of our continuing series “The Latino Factor: How We Vote,” we travel to eastern New Mexico to meet Latinas and Latinos who have mobilized politically for and against abortion in the region. We also learn about how the anti-abortion movement is trying to revive an obscure law from the 19th Century, the Comstock Act, to stop clinics from opening by passing local ordinances.  You can read more about the episode here. Subscribe to our newsletter by going to the top of our homepage. 

Anthony Comstock (March 7, 1844 – September 21, 1915) was an American anti-vice activist, United States Postal Inspector, and secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice (NYSSV), who was dedicated to upholding Christian morality. He opposed obscene literature, abortion, contraception, masturbation, gambling, prostitution, and patent medicine. The terms comstockery and comstockism refer to his extensive censorship campaign of materials that he considered obscene, including birth control advertised or sent by mail. He used his positions in the U.S. Postal Service and the NYSSV (in association with the New York police) to make numerous arrests for obscenity and gambling. Besides these pursuits, he was also involved in efforts to suppress fraudulent banking schemes, mail swindles, and medical quackery.[2]

What do you call a case where there's no standing and yet the lawsuit is still standing? FDA v Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine AKA the mifepristone case, AKA the case that tried to raise a zombie law from the dead, and will now continue to roam the lower courts in search of a national abortion ban. While the Comstock Act was not mentioned in the US Supreme Court's unanimous decision to maintain the legal status quo on abortion pills, the overton window just got wedged open a little wider.In this Opinionpalooza extra episode of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discuss SCOTUS' abortion pill decision in depth and explore the consequences of a case that was doomed to fail before even this Supreme Court, but is also doomed to return to haunt us.This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate's coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court this June.
