Trump-appointed judge who is trying to ban abortion medicine nationwide.

Dear MoveOn member,

Matthew Kacsmaryk—a Trump-appointed, right-wing judge—issued a national
ban on mifepristone, a drug that for 20 years has been used for safe,
effective abortion care.^1 While the Biden administration has appealed
this decision, Kacsmaryk's ruling has led to chaos and confusion and has
continued the right-wing efforts to undermine health care and autonomy and
hammer away at access to abortion care.

This is part of Kacsmaryk's own right-wing agenda. His ruling was an
unprecedented attack on FDA authority, justified by baseless claims. He
has deep ties to the conservative Federalist Society and has pursued a
right-wing agenda since he was appointed, undermining the Biden
administration on issue after issue. His professional history reflects his
crusades against health care, autonomy, LGBTQ+ equality, and many more
human rights and freedoms.^2 

Now, there's more: The Washington Post has just reported that Kacsmaryk
removed his name from an article he had written before he came up for his
Senate confirmation, potentially attempting to conceal his anti-abortion
and anti-LGBTQ+ track record in order to be confirmed to the federal
bench.^3

This judge has shown he is set on abusing his power in service of his
personal political agenda. Judges who serve on federal courts must be
committed to respecting the law, the Constitution, and core American
values of justice, fairness, and inclusivity. [ [link removed] ]Will you sign the

Demand that 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—even after he attempted to conceal the depths of those views during
his confirmation hearings. This is not how our freedoms can be treated.
Congress needs to take action immediately.

Want to support MoveOn’s work? Voters just defied history and stopped a
MAGA wave of extremism at the polls. But there is more work to do to end
the filibuster, codify abortion rights into law, and defend our freedoms,
our families, and our futures. We can accomplish all this and more, but
only if we work together.
