Anti-Abortion Groups Urge Attorney General to Halt Mailing of Abortion Pills - The Daily Chronicle
The coalition says the 2022 Justice Department view has weakened enforcement against mailed abortion drugs and wants Blanche to revisit it.
- On August 7, Advancing American Freedom, founded by former Vice President Mike Pence, led 35 organizations in urging U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche to review a Biden-era Office of Legal Counsel opinion regarding the 1873 Comstock Act.
- The Comstock Act bans sending "obscene material" by mail, including abortion-related articles, though a 2022 Department of Justice memo argued the law does not prohibit mailing drugs if the sender lacks unlawful intent.
- Blanche, confirmed August 8 in a 49-50 vote, previously signaled to religious groups that the Trump administration would be "putting practices and policies in place" to stop mifepristone shipments by mail.
- Planned Parenthood Action Fund CEO Alexis McGill Johnson argued the administration's actions demonstrate a "never stop" effort to restrict abortion access, warning such policies could make it "more dangerous to provide that care."
- Telehealth accounted for 27% of abortions in early 2025, totaling more than 162,000 cases, as legal battles continue over whether the Comstock Act—often called a "zombie law"—allows federal authorities to restrict mail-order medication access.
