Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.

Jonathan Mitchell told the New York Times he hopes Donald Trump doesn’t know about all the non-legislative ways he could ban abortion, like the Comstock Act.—and why some activists don’t want Trump talking about that possibility. While the former got a lot of attention, you can probably understand why the latter is a much bigger deal.

The law made it a federal crime to mail, possess, or sell “obscene materials,” including items used for abortions.

If Mitchell doesn’t want voters to know about the threat posed by the Comstock Act before Election Day, that’s an interesting thing to tell the country’s biggest newspaper!
