Josh Hawley Warned Todd Blanche His Confirmation Could Collapse Over One Biden Policy

An Army captain secretly poisoned a woman using pills he ordered off the internet.

That same scheme is why Josh Hawley is threatening to sink Todd Blanche's confirmation.

Blanche could end it right now, and today's hearing puts him on record either way.

An Army Captain's Crime Shows Exactly What Biden's Loophole Built

Captain Brandon Jones-Adams found out he'd gotten a female soldier pregnant.

He didn't ask for help.

He ordered abortion drugs online under a fake name, had them shipped to himself, and used them to poison the mother and her unborn child.

The baby died in the womb at 13 weeks.

Jones-Adams confessed and is now serving 12 years in prison.

He's not alone.

An Ohio doctor allegedly used his ex-wife's identity to buy mifepristone and poison his pregnant girlfriend, Jona Affholder, causing severe hemorrhaging.

A Texas attorney named Mason Herring is accused of mixing abortion drugs into his wife's drinks – more than once.

None of this was possible before Joe Biden's FDA blew up the rules.

For two decades, mifepristone required an in-person visit – a doctor screening for coercion, verifying the pregnancy, making sure the woman wasn't being forced.

Biden's FDA gutted that safeguard in December 2021, using the pandemic as cover, and let the abortion industry mail the drug to anyone with a credit card.

The result is a country where more babies die by mail order than were dying the day Dobbs overturned Roe.

New data shows roughly 18,000 more unborn children lost their lives in 2025 than in 2024 – 1.1 million a year and climbing.

Fifteen thousand babies die every month in states that supposedly banned abortion, because Biden's mail order rule lets blue-state pharmacies ship straight past those laws.

Todd Blanche Can End It With One Signature and Hasn't

Louisiana sued the FDA over exactly this.

The state's case is built around Rosalie Markezich, a woman coerced into taking the pills by a boyfriend who ordered them online without her consent.

"If mail-order abortion wasn't a thing, I'm 100% sure I would have my child," Markezich testified.

Here's the part that should make you furious.

The Department of Justice doesn't even dispute that Biden's rule was illegal.

Court filings show DOJ has already conceded the core legal argument – that Biden's FDA broke the law when it rewrote the rule in 2021.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche could end the entire fight tomorrow by simply agreeing to a court-ordered consent decree.

He hasn't done it.

Instead, Blanche's DOJ kept fighting to leave Biden's mail order rule in place, arguing it should stay even while admitting it's likely unlawful.

Eighty-three pro-life organizations sent Blanche a letter in June begging him to settle.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser has had enough.

"Enough is enough," Dannenfelser said, calling on Blanche's DOJ to restore in-person dispensing immediately.

Senator Josh Hawley has publicly pushed Blanche to settle the case rather than let the abortion industry keep shipping.

More than 70 percent of the country – including a majority of liberal voters – wants the in-person requirement back.

Blanche has a window most nominees never get.

He can settle the case before the full Senate ever votes, so the fight belongs to the courts and not to him.

Wait until after confirmation, and he owns Biden's rule as his own for as long as he leads the department.

Josh Hawley Just Put His Confirmation Vote on the Table

Blanche sat down in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning for his confirmation hearing to become permanent attorney general.

Republicans hold a razor-thin majority on that committee, and it takes just one GOP "no" to kill his nomination on the spot.

Josh Hawley sits on that committee, and he's made no secret of what he wants before he votes.

Hawley wants to know whether Blanche will settle the mifepristone lawsuits and clear the way for restrictions on the drug.

Hawley has made clear that his state and pro-life voters are watching how Blanche handles it.

That's not a suggestion.

Democrats are hammering Blanche over the Epstein files, the Comey prosecution, and a $1.8 billion settlement fund critics call a slush account.

None of that touches the one lever Blanche could pull today that would actually save lives.

He doesn't need congressional approval.

He doesn't need to wait on the FDA.

He needs to sign a single consent decree Louisiana has already put in front of him.

Blanche Has No Excuse Left to Hide Behind

This isn't a hard call.

DOJ already admits Biden broke the law.

Louisiana already won the key legal findings in court.

The FDA is already conducting a fresh safety review, and every honest look at the data ends the same way – mailing abortion drugs to strangers without a doctor in the room is reckless.

Blanche doesn't need to wait for that review to finish before he stops defending a rule his own department calls unlawful.

He needs to sign the consent decree, hand the fight to the courts, and let Louisiana protect its own women.

Every day he doesn't is a day he's choosing the abortion industry's mailroom over the women it's poisoning.

Josh Hawley already told him what it will cost.

Todd Blanche can end the scheme right now, or he can find out on the Senate floor just how serious Hawley was.

If your senator votes to confirm him anyway, ask them why they let him skip it.
