Stop Comstock Act

S 951, the "Stop Comstock Act," amends federal obscenity laws to remove outdated and restrictive language. It deletes terms like "indecent" and "immoral" from Title 18 (e.g., Sections 552, 1461, 1462) and the Tariff Act, which were historically used to block access to reproductive health materials. The bill directly affects how federal law defines "obscene" materials, eliminating references to abortion, contraception, or "immoral use" that could be misapplied to restrict lawful medical information. This is a technical legal update to clarify that federal obscenity laws do not cover protected reproductive health content.
