Reproductive rights activists are alarmed over a pledge by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to institute nationwide abortion restrictions.
Blanche acknowledged the Trump administration’s push to restrict abortion is moving slower than supporters want, but promised it was committed to stopping abortion across the country.
