We've already started to see many red states getting really angry about these shield laws and trying to sue or even indict people who are allegedly shipping abortion pills across state lines into red states.

I mean, it's speculative, but I do think that Dr. Foster is right when she says that Alito is trying to draw a roadmap for anti-abortion advocates who are trying to figure out how to continue to undermine shield laws.

Potentially, yeah.

Maybe he's sending up some kind of smoke signal to say, hey, I'm not a huge fan of abortion.

I'm not a huge fan of shield laws.

Bring me something that will allow me to say that in writing from the highest court in the nation.

So thank you so much for bringing up Clarence Thomas.

He is actually very critical to the third threat.

Remember, this is a list of four possible threats.

This is, I would say, the biggest threat to abortion access.

And specifically, Clarence Thomas brings up something called the Comstock Act.

I can see what you're, I can see the sigh you've just brought up, but I would like you to read what Clarence Thomas said about it.

Exactly.

And if you're listening, we're going to explain this.

You're going to hear why Kai has so much consternation already in his voice.

Okay.

So he is saying that the applicants, which to be clear, are pharmaceutical companies that manufacture Mifepristone.

He is saying that they are committing a criminal enterprise because of the Comstock Act.

Kai, you know what the Comstock Act is.

Do you want to do a little spiel on it?
