Democrats eye take down of federal provision could affect abortion by mail

Senate Democrats are looking to strike a provision in a federal law that bars materials related to abortion from being transmitted through the mail, warning that it could be wielded by a Republican president and Congress to ban abortions nationally. Sen. Tina Smith, , is leading an effort to revise the 1873 Comstock Act, repealing the piece making the mailing of abortion materials illegal.

Smith's bill could also manage to pick up some Republican support from moderate Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who have joined their Democratic counterparts on abortion and reproduction related votes in the past.
