editThanks for your edits on Comstock Laws, the page really needed them. JuxtaposedJacob (talk) 20:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much. I'm going to work on this in the next few days to get the rest looking better. There are a LOT of page views and it is something that should be clear! Shaftesbury'sPipe (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Comstock and abortion
editIn Talk:Comstock Act of 1873, you wrote: "I had trouble editing this page because Comstock WAS a law about X, Y, Z then it was amended to be about X,Y. Now it is being talked about as having power to regulate abortion."
Comstock has always been about restricting abortion (along with other things)... this was just a moot point while Roe v. Wade was in effect. Fabrickator (talk) 18:43, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- I completely agree -- abortion has always been EXPLICITLY in the statute and one of its main purposes. I agree that this article has to demonstrate WHY Comstock was related to abortion -- and is now relevant because of Dobbs. If you can do any editing here, it would be very helpful!
