Stop the DOJ from Imposing a Back Door National Abortion Ban
The Issue
Without a single vote in Congress, the Trump administration may be on the verge of banning abortion nationwide — and most Americans have no idea it's happening.
At his Senate confirmation hearing, Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche committed to reviewing a Biden-era legal memo that currently protects the right to mail abortion pills across state lines.
The tool he's eyeing: the Comstock Act, an 1873 law written to ban "obscene" materials through the mail.
Anti-abortion activists have spent years arguing the government can use this dusty statute to criminalize shipping mifepristone, the most common abortion medication in the country, effectively ending medication abortion in all 50 states without ever passing a law.
This isn't a hypothetical.
Project 2025 called for criminal prosecutions of abortion pill providers under Comstock. Anti-abortion lawyers are already installed at the Department of Justice. And Justice Clarence Thomas has argued in writing that mifepristone shipments constitute criminal enterprise.
If the DOJ rescinds the current guidance, telehealth providers won't wait for charges — they'll stop prescribing altogether. Millions of people will lose access to safe, FDA-approved medication that more than 100 studies confirm is safe and effective.
Congress never voted for a national abortion ban. The American people never asked for one. Don't let the DOJ quietly impose one anyway. Sign now — before the memo is gone and the damage is done.
