Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche pledged on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, to take action to stop abortion medication from being available through the mail in the United States. Blanche committed to Republican senators that he would prioritize taking action on mifepristone if confirmed but declined to provide specific details about the measures he would pursue.

Blanche also stated that the Trump administration opposes a Biden-era policy that allowed the abortion medication to be distributed by mail. This marks a clear stance against the current policy framework established during the Biden administration.
