Blanche Pledges to Make Dobbs Decision ‘Permanent’ in Every State

Blanche told faith leaders the Justice Department will pursue policies to restrict abortion pill shipments following the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision.

  • On a call with religious leaders last week, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche pledged to make the 2022 Supreme Court Dobbs ruling permanent, stating the administration is "putting practices and policies in place" to curb mail-order abortion pills.
  • Blanche's Sunday decision to rescind his $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund" secured support from two previously skeptical Republican senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn.
  • On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved Blanche's nomination for attorney general in a 12-10 party-line vote, advancing his confirmation to the full Senate despite concerns regarding his fitness.
  • A Justice Department spokesperson attempted to downplay Blanche's remarks on Tuesday, claiming they were mischaracterized and focused on "mail order abortion drugs" rather than broader federal control over states.
  • Critics argue Blanche's tenure reveals an "overt partisan" record, citing his removal of more than 200 staffers and pursuit of investigations into political opponents like former CIA Director John Brennan.
