Summary
A pro-life group, the Restoration of America Foundation (ROAF), released a report urging the Trump administration to enforce the 1873 Comstock Act to stop mail-order abortion pill shipments. The report claims that Democratic-led states’ shield laws allow providers to send mifepristone to Republican-led states without in-person exams. It cites a 2025 estimate of over 300,000 abortions via mail-order drugs and an insurance claims analysis showing higher-than-reported adverse health events. The group argues the Comstock Act could ban the mailing of abortion drugs nationwide. The Biden administration previously said the law does not apply when senders lack intent for unlawful use.
