In a call last week, Blanche, who is serving as both acting attorney general and deputy attorney general and has previously served as Trump’s personal lawyer, suggested that under his leadership, the department would prioritize restrictions on medication abortion. Still, national restrictions on abortion remain unpopular. Abortion pill restrictions have emerged as a top priority for the anti-abortion movement. But so far, the Trump administration has taken no action to block telehealth abortion, despite pressure from top anti-abortion groups. Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington, posted on the social media platform X that “Senators who vote for Blanche are voting for an Attorney General who will attack abortion rights in EVERY state.”
