Do not forget this. The Trump team's plan is to ban abortion using a law that people in the 1920s scoffed at as delusional and old-fashioned. Playwright George Bernard Shaw coined a term, "Comstockery," to describe foolish Puritanism. It was a popular insult. Let's bring it back. FUCK COMSTOCKERY
One of Trump's top lawyers has already said the plan is to stay quiet on abortion through the campaign—then use the Comstock Act to impose a nationwide abortion ban in 2025. Not only a ban on medication abortion, but ALL abortions, in all 50 states. www.nytimes.com/2024/02/17/u...

And when the principle is established that both children and adults can be denied rights to decide what happens to their own bodies, because someone else with an agenda says so, access to abortion and contraception will be targeted. This is already underway in the US.
Immediately following the release of the Cass Review, NHS England has announced it will now investigate Adult Transgender Health Care.
This is not, and has never been, about children. The NHS is going to attempt to ban adult transgender healthcare,

For the record, I think you SHOULD support weirdo porn artists. If you think critically about censorship, comstockery, neopuritanism etc. then that should be pretty clear. Is it also funny when someone makes rule 34 of a toaster or whatever? Absolutely. Both things can be true.

Which is why the next step is an attempt to impose comstockery on the Internet, via 'local' laws.

Thread. In books and comics up to the mid-20th Century “Comstockery” is a well-known insult, meaning ‘weird Puritanism made into oppressive official policy.’
“It won’t help anyone, it’s just Comstockery.”

By some strange coincidence, Reva Siegel and I were together yesterday when Comstockery published. Thanks to everyone at the Yale Law Journal for their help, and for everyone who read and commented on the paper!

The original intention of the law was to censor, first, trans content, and then, probably just about anything else right-wing AGs wanted. If the ability to do that is gone, then why is the bill still seeing support from the right?
I suspect it's an extension of Comstockery, and I am dubious.

A national ban on porn would put many queer, disabled, and marginalized people at jeopardy for losing their livelihoods.
It can't just be industry members that fight back. We need every porn consumer to fight back too.
