Todd Blanche Pledges Permanent National Abortion Restrictions
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche vowed to make post-Dobbs abortion restrictions permanent across all states and crack down on medication abortion pills.
Todd Blanche, the Acting Attorney General, pledged to make abortion restrictions permanent in every state following the Dobbs decision. Blanche, who is expected to be confirmed as Attorney General this week, is moving to address concerns from anti-abortion rights groups regarding the availability of medication abortions.
To achieve these goals, the United States Department of Justice is anticipated to take action to crack down on the distribution and use of mifepristone and misoprostol. These medication abortion pills are currently utilized in nearly two-thirds of abortions across the United States.
