Gene P. Hamilton's proposal in Project 2025 emphasizes the potential resurrection of the Comstock Act to restrict access to abortion post-Dobbs decision, bypassing Congress.
The Comstock Act, stemming from efforts to limit figures like Victoria Woodhull, represents a historical struggle against reproductive rights, showing the resilience of anti-abortion sentiments in America.
Hamilton's approach reveals a strategy for conservatives to exercise control over reproductive rights without direct legislative action, potentially reviving outdated legal frameworks.
The historical context of the Comstock Act and its opposition highlights how women's rights movements have echoed through time, and the ongoing battle remains critical today.
