White House Denies Report Officials Told Attorney General To Stall Anti-Abortion Actions Until After Midterms
Though the White House denied a recent report that the administration of President Donald Trump is slow walking anti-abortion action until after the 2026 midterm elections, pro-life advocates are warning that such considerations are unacceptable.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles led discussions with Attorney General Todd Blanche urging him to defer the Department of Justice’s actions involving abortion until after the midterm elections, The Washington Sun reported Friday. The White House, however, reportedly told the outlet such conversations “never occurred.”
The allegation, despite the denial, triggered backlash from pro-life leaders on social media.
“Unborn children cannot be put on a political calendar. Their lives do not become more valuable after Election Day,” Live Action President Lila Rose wrote in an X post Friday.

Unborn children cannot be put on a political calendar. Their lives do not become more valuable after Election Day.
Protect children from the abortion pill now!

“In other words: more babies will die because swampy consultants still lead the GOP astray,” Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins likewise posted. “Lives are at stake now, not after an election. Abortion does not pause for Washington’s political calendar.”
According to a new report, @AGToddBlanche, our Attorney General, was reportedly told by senior White House officials to delay major action on abortion until after the midterm elections.
In other words: more babies will die because swampy consultants still lead the GOP astray.
Lives are at stake now, not after an election. Abortion does not pause for Washington’s political calendar.
And if Washington needs another reason to act, pro-life voters WANT a reason to show up on November 3rd. @Therepublicans, don’t forget your pro-life base. It will not fare well for you.
