Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, August 05, 2026

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. Following reports on the call, the Department of Justice downplayed his comments, claiming they focused strictly on regulating mail-order abortion drugs rather than expanding federal control over states. The recording of the call has since been removed from YouTube. The controversy comes as the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12"10 to approve Blanche's nomination for permanent Attorney General, sending his confirmation to the full Senate.
