There’s a real possibility that the Supreme Court could block access to abortion medication.

It's all thanks to Josh Hawley and his corrupt family business. Please let me explain:

There's a real possibility that the Supreme Court could block access to abortion medication. Pamela, This week, the Supreme Court will start hearing arguments in the mifepristone case to ban the most commonly used abortion pill in all 50 states. This is the case led by Josh Hawley's wife and decided by his donor judge. The Hawley Family Business is responsible for stripping away reproductive rights in our country — from banning abortion meds to overturning Roe v. Wade — and Josh Hawley has abused his power as Missouri's U.S. Senator to do it all. This email is longer than usual, but before I ask you to add your name to my petition to end these attacks on reproductive rights from control-obsessed politicians like Josh Hawley, I hope you'll give me a moment to explain: PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS Let's start at the very beginning, before Josh Hawley was even elected. In 2017, Matthew Kacsmaryk was nominated to be a federal judge for the North Texas district court. His confirmation stalled for years due to bipartisan opposition over his bizarre obsession with controlling people's bodies, an issue he was even caught lying about during his nomination process: The next year, while his nomination stalled in the Senate, Kacsmaryk made an investment in his future by becoming a campaign donor to Josh Hawley, a fellow member of the Federalist Society — a group of corporate activist lawyers with funders including Chevron, Google, and the Kochs. As soon as Hawley was sworn into the U.S. Senate in 2019, he decided to make Kacsmaryk, his campaign donor, a federal judge. Hawley became the deciding vote to confirm Kacsmaryk to the northern Texas district court, despite even more bipartisan opposition over Kacsmaryk's Big Brother views on contraceptives and personal freedoms. Now let's flash forward to June 2022. An organization called "Alliance Defending Freedom" — a group of activist attorneys that just so happens to employ Josh Hawley's wife — successfully overturned Roe v. Wade. This was the first big win for the Hawley Family Business. But it wasn't enough. PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS Just weeks after Roe was overturned and Missouri enacted an exceptionless abortion ban, Hawley co-sponsored a national abortion ban in the U.S. Senate. But the Hawley Family Business didn't stop there. In November 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the northern Texas district court — where Hawley's campaign donor serves as a federal judge — by that same organization, "Alliance Defending Freedom," to ban the abortion pill, mifepristone, nationwide. Abortion medication accounts for over half of all abortions. Josh Hawley's wife led the suit. His donor was the judge. It shouldn't surprise anyone that Hawley's DONOR judge ruled in favor of the suit led by Hawley's WIFE, calling for a near-immediate ban on the abortion pill in all 50 states — the first time a judge has ever unilaterally tried to take a drug off the market against FDA objections. Just days after Kacsmaryk's ruling, Josh Hawley used his taxpayer-funded Senate office to submit an amicus brief demanding that the Supreme Court end a temporary injunction blocking the ruling (in his wife's lawsuit) by a judge (his campaign donor) to ban America's most commonly-used abortion medication. It didn't work, and for now, mifepristone is available for those who need it. But after the Supreme Court hears arguments in the case this week, there's a real possibility that abortion medication could be outlawed across the country. PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS Even the federal judiciary knows that this is what corruption looks like. Earlier this month, they updated the process for assigning cases to judges — eliminating "judge shopping," as they admitted happened in the mifepristone case. This election is our only opportunity to hold Hawley accountable for all of this. So if you're ready to end these Big Brother attacks on abortion and shut down the Hawley Family Business for good, please sign on now to my petition to protect reproductive rights and take back power from politicians like Hawley. PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS We have a real chance to take back power from control-obsessed elites like Josh Hawley and give Missouri's U.S. Senate seat back to real, everyday people this November — and we can't afford to waste it.
