Affirms that federal law allows the distribution and mailing of medication abortion and rejects efforts to use the Comstock Act to ban abortion or restrict access to medication abortion. It cites a Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel (Dec. 23, 2022) opinion that 18 U.S.C. § 1461 does not bar mailing certain abortion drugs when the sender lacks unlawful intent, and condemns policies that restrict access to reproductive health care, including mifepristone.
