#Project2025 aims to revive the #ComstockAct, an 1873 "Victorian purity law." The plan skips the legislative process & would apply even in states w/legal abortion.
The ultimate goal is to “subordinate women," says Leah Litman #InsideProject2025 #Velshi

  Project 2025 seeks to resurrect a 151-yr-old law to subordinate women
  
  from MSNBC
  
  The Dobbs decision overturning the constitutional right to an abortion marked the first step in a broader campaign by Christian conservatives to eliminate reproductive freedom for women in America. Their ultimate goal is a nationwide abortion ban, and the extremist blueprint, Project 2025, seeks to accomplish just that. The plan centers on resurrecting an outdated obscenity law, the 1873 Comstock Act, to target medication abortion, which is the most commonly used method of abortion today. “They want to revive this law from 1873 that was passed when women couldn’t even participate in the electoral process, and certainly weren’t represented in Congress,” says Leah Litman, professor at the University of Michigan Law School, adding that their goal is to “subordinate women's bodily autonomy to their preferred vision of gender roles.”
