Republicans have a plan to ban abortion nationwide & they won’t need a single vote in Congress to do it.
Join the #CancelComstock Coalition & the Progressive Caucus Action Fund on Oct. 10 for a briefing on the Comstock Act — the 150+ year old law at the center of it all.

Happy World Contraception Day!
Contraception is freedom. Contraception is health care. On World Contraception Day we celebrate our right to birth control. We won't let anyone take these freedoms from us. #ProtectProtection

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!

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.

"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."

Repealing Comstock is absolutely critical to protecting reproductive rights and public health writ large. We are grateful to @sentinasmith.bsky.social for taking this important step.

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.

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.
