How a GOP President Could Unilaterally Ban Most Abortions

Axios: “While Republicans disagree about whether to pursue a national abortion ban that would face long odds in Congress, a GOP president may be able to unilaterally curb access to medication abortion across the country using an obscure 19th-century law.”

“At issue is the meaning of the 1873 Comstock Act, which banned the mailing of ‘obscene’ material like pornography, as well as abortion drugs and contraception. While the law has been cut down over the years, the abortion provision remained but was ignored while Roe v. Wade was in place.”
