Abortion foes eye Interpol’s global law enforcement network to target abortion pills

The Charlotte Lozier Institute, an anti-abortion research organization, has outlined a new approach to restrict medication abortion access by urging Attorney General Todd Blanche to deploy Operation Pangea, an international program typically used to combat counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Attorney Mary Harned proposed using this enforcement mechanism to argue that overseas mifepristone creates confusion between legitimate and illegitimate drugs, potentially enabling the Justice Department to seize informational websites and intercept shipments. However, legal experts characterize this strategy as unnecessarily complex and impractical, suggesting it reflects the anti-abortion movement's frustration with President Trump's reluctance to pursue more direct enforcement methods, such as invoking the Comstock Act.
