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...

I finally started your book last night, and it feels even more timely that when I bought it!

Count ponies in! I promise to leave stains on all Cumstockings & violate the Comstock Act every chance I get, which is frequent and vigorously! Fuck Comstockery now & 4-ever!

Trump Allies Plan New Sweeping Abortion Restrictions

His supporters are seeking to attack abortion rights and abortion access from a variety of angles should he regain the White House, including using a long-dormant law from 1873.

With a Ttump second term, abortion rights will be the least of our problems. Scary, scary sh*t...

And we'd best be wary of it being enforced on a planetary scale, too!

I didn't know that Shaw coined the word "Comstockery!" The OED citation list for the word is just amazing. It includes Jerome Branch Cabell and Aldous Huxley and indirectly Margaret Sanger. We're in good company. Yeah, let's bring it back.

Love it, on board

I always just think of him as the villain of The Future of Another Timeline. I wonder what whoever wrote that is thinking right now...

The Future of Another Timeline - Wikipedia

Don’t let the GOP stay silent about abortion. Ask about it at every opportunity, every campaign event, every debate.
