Plain-English Summary

The bill would limit the federal government's ability to use an old law called the Comstock Act to restrict the mailing of certain items, particularly medications and medical devices related to abortion and reproductive health. Currently, the Comstock Act bans mailing items that could be used to perform abortions, but this bill would narrow that law's scope to prevent it from blocking access to FDA-approved medications and devices. The change would primarily affect patients seeking reproductive healthcare and the doctors and pharmacies that serve them.
