Stop Comstock Act: Revising Obscenity and Immorality Laws

This bill aims to remove outdated federal provisions that could restrict access to information and products, including those related to reproductive health. Citizens may experience greater freedom in accessing various materials without fear of them being classified as "indecent" or "immoral" under old regulations. These changes could impact what is permissible in commerce and transportation, potentially easing access to certain products and services.
Key points
Removes terms like "indecent" and "means for procuring abortion" from federal statutes, potentially affecting product availability.
Redefines "obscene materials" in the criminal code, focusing solely on obscenity rather than broader, more ambiguous categories.
Amends customs laws by removing prohibitions on importing materials deemed "immoral" or related to "unlawful abortion," which could impact international trade.
