- Comstock_laws abstract "On March 3, 1873, Congress passed the federal act, “Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use” which later became known as the Comstock Law. The Act empowered the U.S. Postal Service to refuse to handle through the mail erotica; contraceptive medications or devices; abortifacients; sexual implements, such as the ones used in masturbation; contraceptive information; and advertisements for contraception, abortion, or sexual implements. It made the use of the post for those purposes illegal and punishable.In places like Washington D.C., where the federal government had direct jurisdiction, the act made it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, to sell, give away, or have in possession any “obscene” publication. Half of the states passed similar anti-obscenity statutes that also banned possession and sale of obscene materials, including contraceptives.The law was named after its chief proponent, Anthony Comstock. Due to his own personal enforcement of the law during its early days, Comstock received a commission from the postmaster general to serve as a special agent for the U.S. Postal Services.".
