Listen Later

Conservatives are trying their hardest to resurrect the Comstock Act as a way to ban mailing abortion pills. This week, Imani is joined by special guest and colleague Garnet Henderson, Rewire News Group's senior multiplatform reporter and resident Comstock Act expert, to break down how we got here and where we're going. You won't be surprised to learn that there's someone familiar behind the push to ban access to abortion pills by mail.
