Although former President Donald Trump has disavowed any involvement with Project 2025, a former top health adviser of his touted one of its most controversial initiatives on Wednesday while speaking at the Natcon Conference.According to NOTUS Reports' Oriana Gonzalez, former Trump lead health adviser Katy Talento at the conference touted a plan referenced in Project 2025 to use the Comstock Act of 1873 to ban the mailing of abortion-related medications in the United States."There is a law that says organizations are not allowed to ship abortion pills... other devices and equipment used for abortions," Talento said, in reference to the Comstock Act. “This is on the agenda for a pro-life administration."Plans to use the Comstock Act to effectively suppress the distribution of abortion medications were first reported by the New York Times this past February. The original act made it illegal to use the United States Postal Service to send materials deemed to be obscene or related to criminal activities.ALSO READ: Trump’s ‘secretary of retribution’ has a ‘target list’ of 350 people he wants arrestedAlthough passed in the 19th Century, the act is still used to prosecute people who send child pornography and other illicit materials through the mail.After the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, however, some opponents of legalized abortion have argued that the law can be used to prosecute people who send drugs such as mifepristone.While Trump has denied any involvement in Project 2025, progressive journalist Judd Legum earlier this week documented how deeply many former Trump officials are involved with it, as two-thirds of the project's authors served inside his administration.In addition to all this, Legum showed that Trump has openly embraced many of the ideas in the past that were pushed by the Heritage Foundation, the right-wing think tank that is behind Project 2025.
