Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche assured faith leaders during a call with Intercessors for America that the Justice Department plans to further restrict abortion access, calling a complete victory "permanent" and "soon." Specifically targeting mail-order abortion drugs, Blanche stated the administration is implementing policies to stop organizations from shipping abortion pills into states with abortion bans.
