BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge just issued a national ban on mifepristone. Sign the petition to demand Congress investigate and impeach for his right-wing connections.
Dear MoveOn member,
Matthew Kacsmaryk—a Trump-appointed, right-wing judge—just issued a national ban on mifepristone, a drug that for 20 years has been a source of safe, effective abortion care.1 Kacsmaryk has deep ties to the conservative Federalist Society and has pursued a right-wing agenda since he was appointed. His professional history reflects his crusades against health care, autonomy, LGBTQ+ equality and many more human rights and freedoms.2
The good news is that the FDA has a week to appeal his decision, and the pill is still legal—but that won't stop this judge from abusing his power. Judges who serve on federal courts must be committed to respecting the law, the Constitution, and core American values of justice, fairness, and inclusivity. Will you sign the petition to demand Congress investigate and impeach Matthew Kacsmaryk?
This isn't shocking; Republicans have shown us, over and over, that when they have power, they'll take violent, oppressive stances. They showed us last year when the right-wing-hijacked Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and in the months that followed as Republican-led state legislatures took measures to get rid of and limit abortion care.
Kacsmaryk is basing his unprecedented decision on his own right-wing religious views, deep partisanship, and personal crusade against abortion access. These are not how our freedoms can be treated. Congress needs to take action immediately.
Thanks for all you do.
