Well, at least there is SOME honesty among firms of the oil & gas industry.
What is the Comstock Act? Ian Milhiser at Vox.com
Really interesting article on Anthony Comstock and the history of anti-sex, anti birth-control and anti abortion.
…
Interesting that "indecent" in this law includes things "tending to incite arson, murder, or assassination." Seems like a crafty attorney could make a case that some types of commercial or political mailers – not at all related to abortion – might run afoul of indecency laws!
When reading the broad scope of the Comstock Law, I'm wondering if it could be construed to ban the sale of firearms and ammunition on the web, for delivery by mail or delivery services such as Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and the like?
“could be construed……..” Probably. That law is so outdated; and Comstock was such a piece of shit, even for his times; that almost anything could be construed from the act.
