DYK the 1895 SCOTUS found it was legal to use decoy tactics to entrap people into violating the #ComstockAct? The case was “U.S. v. Grimm”. William Grimm had responded to a letter of entrapment. He asked for “fancy” photos.

DYK In 1887, #AnthonyComstock triggered a public relations disaster for himself by arresting the owner of the Knoedler Gallery in NYC? He charged him with selling photos of Parisian Salon paintings. The court found that 35 out of 37 of them were not obscene. #ComstockAct

DYK the punishments #AnthonyComstock meted out under the #ComstockAct were often severe? #FreeLove publisher Ezra Heywood agreed the proliferation of #porn was “alarming”, nevertheless #Comstock had him arrested in 1876 for writing “Cupid’s Yokes”.

The Society competed w/police in NYC. It found police efforts inadequate & began to raid dens of ill repute. Comstock charged, “You must hunt these men as you hunt rats, without mercy.” #TrumpKKKristians & the #GOP are trying to revive #ComstockAct. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

Thom Hartmann From: The Manhood Trap: From Epstein’s Island to Musk’s Baby Farm — How the Right Redefined Masculinity as Control Law enforcement officers in Red states are now interrogating women who seek care for pregnancy complications, Republican Attorneys General are demanding records of miscarriages and abortions even from Blue states, and doctors are afraid to treat women in crisis, leading to a doubling in the use of blood transfusions (women almost bleeding to death) in Texas since they passed their draconian abortion ban. It’s deliberate, and it’s escalating. And now Republicans in Congress and the states are openly talking about bringing back enforcement of the Comstock Act of 1873, the Victorian-era law banning not just abortion but contraception and obscene materials, as I wrote about in The Cold Dead Hand of Anthony Comstock. Meanwhile, the fetal personhood movement backed by Trump and Vance is becoming mainstream. As vice president, J.D. Vance spoke at the 2025 March for Life rally, declaring “I want more babies in the United States of America” and aligned himself with the GOP’s agenda of fetal personhood, a policy that could make IVF, contraception, and even most miscarriage treatment illegal. This is a deliberate, systemic reinforcement of toxic masculinity, an ideology of power, control, and domination.

Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, anti-abortion groups cite the 1873 Comstock Act to restrict access to abortion medication. With MAGA using it, then they should enforce the entire act which also criminalizes mailing any material w/ nudity & can be prosecuted as well.
