[From Forbes: Republican attorneys general in Idaho, Kansas and Missouri are seeking to restrict abortion drug mifepristone through new legal routes. [Republicans] are asking it to roll back the Food and Drug Administration’s updates to its approval to mifepristone, which made the drug available via telehealth and through the mail. The attorneys general also asked the court to rule that mailing abortion pills is illegal under the Comstock Act, a 19th century law that’s laid dormant for decades. A potential way for Republicans to functionally outlaw abortion without imposing a federal ban, as blocking companies from shipping or doctors from receiving anything related to abortion through the mail would make it largely impossible to perform the procedure.]( Republicans are not waiting until after the election to show you where they stand on abortion access: Across the country they are advancing a lawsuit designed to make it a criminal offense to mail the abortion pill mifepristone and have asked the Courts to make abortion effectively illegal in all 50 states using a Civil War era law. Don’t believe Donald Trump’s lies that he wouldn’t back a national abortion ban either. 10 Republican Senators have already drafted, introduced, and endorsed Senate Bill 4840 which would enact a national abortion ban that would override ANY state level protections. Any doctors or nurses in violation of SB 4840 “is subject to a prison term of up to five years.” You can read the bill for yourself; this is a direct quote from Section 2. This is why Kamala Harris has said it is the most important time of our lives to elect pro-choice women who will combat these dangerous lawsuits and attacks and restore reproductive rights.
