How Anthony Comstock's Draconian Law Against Women Is Still Being Used + The Fight for Native Rights

[@ccgardner-ss3xn]

Thanks ladies, informative discussion.

[@annaholloway2125]

It’s fascinating to hear the breakdown of these decisions affecting Native rights in Oklahoma and elsewhere. I am an Oklahoman and I’ve met Rev. Maxed, whose language efforts are mentioned here. I have been following the abusive tactics of the governor and the legislature in once again abusing the rights of Native peoples. I will be looking for this book.

Excellent explanation of the history of the beginning of the abortion debate in America. 👏👏 I truly appreciate your insight and intelligence on this topic.

I just ordered Ms. Nagles book, on the video she did a wonderful job of presenting the legal questions posed as well as exposing the historical ignorance and misapplication of the laws to benefit mostly white populations at the expense of delivering justice to Native Americans.

Thank you for this extremely important discussion.

Just listened to The Indian Card by Carrie Lowry Shuetpelz, now going to put this one hold at the library! Great info.

Essentially it's not a vote for Trump for president. It's a vote for JD for president. I hope everyone lets that sink in. JD would take many things, including Comstock, literally and he would take them as far as he could, legally or otherwise.

Yes I'm sure he wojkd pardon him for everything in return for power

I feel nerdily compelled to point out that there was a Broadway musical--Onward, Victoria!--about Victoria Woodhull.

Although I have no business with American affairs, being Canadian, I love following you ladies and your so, so interesting guests. The knowledge based facts presented are so interesting in the present and historical review and presentation. Thank you always... for the hard work.

[@kathywiseman7944]

So interesting ❤❤❤

[@windlessoriginals1150]

Thank you

[@lyndamartin-mccormick4716]

Great podcast.

[@TheArcherette]

Wow!!! This was so illuminating!!! Did this play a role in the temperance movement?

[@Michael-tw7rw]

Out of curiosity have you guys ever done some retrospective reviews of legacy of former justices now that you are a little more removed from their tenure on the court?

[@mgregory2430]

Australian bloke here, regular listener. We did our own messing about with women’s lives and rights (and haven’t finished the corrections yet) but maybe because we had a different foundational process to the USA, and weren’t established by religious fundamentalists (prison colony, remember) this is all wild to me. Alternatively, maybe we did have rubbish like this, and I don’t know about it. Thank you for the information. I’m sure our homegrown reactionaries will cross-pollinate with their US counterparts and someone will try to poison the water here too. But we don’t have Comstock.

[@CSCoolidge]

"Emotional support billionaires"! 🤣🤣🤣😭

[@danphillips9382]

Next episode on John Roberts Memos gonna go crazy

[@chrisray1567]

Anthony Comstock was a real jackass but he definitely had an epic beard.

[@xjagwitchx]

Madame Restell by Jennifer Wright is a good book about a woman who performed abortions in New York and engaged with the Comstock Law more than once

[@Concentrx]

Extreme Supremes! Impeachment is the only real option.

[@movingforwardLDTH]

I’m all for preventing bad sex, so fun toys & copies of the Kama Sutra for everyone post-puberty!!! 🤣 (Sometimes laughter is needed to get through the day.)

[@williamduggan9051]

can our constitution have a 21st-century feel to it? Part a Rights belong to being human Rights Should be craved in stone> Quality of Life for humans and gave nature there own spaceAmendment, all of these Human rights can not be changed by Congress or the Supreme Court And Amendment that grow with our nation needs in the present and future.

[@MarciaMatthews]

Performing an early abortion was known to wise women through the ages.

[@davidwilkie9551]

I absolutely know nothing about Comstock types.., nothing useful, ask Therapist Bettina Arndt in Australia.

[@williamduggan9051]

Barry Goldwater and Peabody Mining, trying to enact squatter right in the 1970s, on Indian land one tribe landed right over another to claim squatter rights back Senator Barry Gold Water and Peabody Mining coal contracts

[@anitabhardwaj6024]

What’s up with Samuel Alito and German rightwing aristocrat linked to US anti-abortion activist???

[@VirginiaBronson]

Great subject matter, not great explanations of the subject. I appreciate the attempt anyway

[@wiseonekenobi5241]

Lol this native rights conversation is like a toddler with a foam sword charging the giant fortess wall that is my preconceptions

[@michaeldunigan1067]

This kind of genocide is happening again. The neglect and criminalization of homelessness. I sometimes wonder if reservations will be the accepted solution to homelessness. As it is the homeless are dying at unacceptable rates. And the mentally ill and the problem of addiction is being shipped to the streets and the jails and prisons. Just say no just means that we are not going to do anything to help you.

[@DennisMoore664]

Those reservations will be called Sanctuary Districts and the mentally ill will be refereed to as "Dims" by the guards and staff, and other homeless residents will be called "Gimmes". Star Trek often predicts the future even if it is a bit off on the timing of events.

​@@DennisMoore664 and a creepy self obsessed billionare controls everything! Great episode
