As the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, we proudly join seventy-seven fellow organizations in a coalition letter sent today to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
We urge the Department of Justice to reverse its prior stance and stand firmly with pro-life states as they seek to protect women and unborn children from the unchecked dangers of mail-order abortion drugs. These policies have left thousands of pills shipped daily with little to no medical oversight, rendering state laws nearly powerless and exposing mothers — particularly in communities long burdened by abortion’s heavy toll — to coercion, regret, and harm.
One young woman, Rosalie Markezich, testified that without the ease of mail-order abortion, she would be raising her child today. Her story reminds us that true justice and renewal begin with accountability, not convenience that endangers the most vulnerable.
In urban America, where every lost life compounds generational grief, we affirm that every child is worthy of protection and every mother deserves genuine care — not the illusion of autonomy through unregulated distribution.
The rule of law and the moral demand of human dignity require the DOJ to support these states without hesitation.
