Back in 1873 we had moral political leaders

We should still follow them now. Hopefully the Supreme Court will do exactly that.

If Republican candidates want to continue to lose elections, just go for it.

They can't help it. The spite campaign against the feminists is one of their favorite things.

They are quickly losing the young and women.

The beauty in Right Wing logic is that they never lose. Everyone knows the entire country loves anti-abortion policies but the deep-state keeps stealing elections and undermining wholesome American values.

During the Gilded Age?

You seem to know it well. If you had a time machine, you'd probably transport yourself to a brothel in a western mining town.

You know they do, they want that more than life itself.

It's wholesome to not be enslaved by a so-called moral character.

Men will suffer worse than women if abortion is banned: shotgun marriages, child-support, unwanted sons growing up lost.

From your link:

The Comstock Act of 1873 banned the mailing of anything related to contraception or abortion. The contraception clauses were removed in 1971, and the law was entirely unenforced during the five-decade reign of Roe v. Wade.

Republican Richard Nixon was president at the time.

Comstock was opposed to ALL birth control.

You know what else was illegal back then? Adultery.

Donald Trump would be in jail.

Adultery laws - Wikipedia

Although adultery laws are mostly found in the conservative states (especially Southern states), there are some notable exceptions such as New York.

Anthony Comstock - Wikipedia

Comstock was also opposed to woman suffragists, notably Victoria Claflin Woodhull and her sister Tennessee Celeste Claflin. The men's journal The Days' Doings popularized images of the sisters for three years and was instructed by its editor (while Comstock was present) to stop producing lewd images. Comstock also took legal action against the paper for advertising contraceptives. After the sisters published an exposé of an adulterous affair between the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher and Elizabeth Tilton, he had the sisters arrested under laws forbidding the use of the postal service to distribute "obscene material", specifically citing a mangled quotation from the Bible that Comstock found obscene. They were later acquitted of the charges.

Native Americans are vastly more moral than greedy European colonialists who broke every treaty they ever claimed to sign.
