Vance and 40 other Republicans pushed for [the Comstock Act] to be used to prosecute women, physicians, pharmacists, and all who provide access to abortion, drugs, information and the like. Fortunately, Garland did not entertain Vance’s demands, as the Biden administration rightfully maintains that the Comstock Act is outdated. Unfortunately, if Trump is elected, Vance will be in a position to see that this act from 1873 is resuscitated, and the harmful consequences will primarily befall those living in the 41 states that have abortion bans with limited exceptions, but also those living in states without bans will struggle, as they won’t be able to access the abortion pill mifepristone via mail.

This is terrifying. Vance’s ascension to VP-elect is a five-alarm fire, and if Trump is elected, well, Vance will be in the position to influence policies and prosecutions for accessing abortion.
