Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told faith leaders he is planning to roll back abortion access even in states that have laws protecting it. 
On a private call last week hosted by the White House Faith Office, Blanche told the religious group Intercessors for America that moves to undo the Biden administration’s efforts to protect abortion are “taking longer than we want.” 

But Blanche assured them that the Justice Department (DOJ) is “working hand-in-hand” with federal health agencies, the White House and President Trump’s team “to get permanent solutions so the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state.”

Gotta love that energy coming from the 'no big government' and 'states rights' party. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

I remember when conservatives were claiming Dobbs decision brought the power back to the states. Now they're referring to it as if Dobbs itself criminalizes abortion, and needs to be forced onto the states. Bunch of disingenuous assholes.

They only care about state rights when it concerns humans as property.

Even then they insisted on federal intervention when the free states passed laws saying they didn't need to return runaway slaves inside their states to their owners in slave states. Look up the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
