From Comstock to Project 2025

Interest in the Comstock Act has surged since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs. This essay explores the origins of the Comstock Act, the dubiousness of classifying obscenity, and the implications of embedding religious ideology into public policy. Drawing on parallels from the past, this essay ultimately asserts the precarity of bodily autonomy in a post-Dobbs United States.
