A Texas judge's ruling, which blocks the use of an abortion pill, would unnecessarily revive a 1873 law, the Comstock Act, that hasn't been used for almost a century. The law is the legal equivalent of a horror movie that resuscitates unfounded arguments and dead laws to wreak havoc on legal principles that have long been settled. A Texas judge granted anti-abortion activists a nationwide preliminary injunction, nullifying the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of mifepristone, which is one of the two drugs used in medication abortions. While the ruling remains stayed while the Department of Justice appeals the case, its danger could remain as over half of abortions in the United States are medication abortions. Disturbingly, the ruling is based on factual and legal errors, with the judge changing the definition of standing and ignoring the data that proves taking mifepristone is safer than taking Tylenol. With the potential threat to women's right to safe reproductive care looming, the question emerges: is this outdated law a threat to the future of reproductive care in the United States?
