Title 18, Chapter 71 of the US Code says:
Every obscene, lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy or vile article, matter, thing, device, or substance; and—
Every article or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion, or for any indecent or immoral use; [...]
Is declared to be nonmailable matter and shall not be conveyed in
the mails or delivered from any post office or by any letter carrier.
I'd just like to remind everyone that this is current US law. I am not familiar with any case interperetations of this, and I highly doubt it's enforced (Pro-Choice America's site doesn't seem to have any info on it), but it strikes me as a bit odd that it's never been repealed in a country where abortion is legal...
