During a White House Faith Office conference call, Blanche stated the Department of Justice is collaborating with federal health agencies to make the Dobbs decision "permanent in every state." Blanche reportedly pledged to prevent physicians in states where abortion is legal from prescribing mail-order abortion drugs to patients in states with abortion bans.
