John,

From overturning Roe to banning abortion drugs, Josh Hawley turned his
mission to criminalize abortion nationwide into a family business — and
he’s abused his power to do it. Please let me explain:

[ [link removed] ]Quote from Josh Hawley in an article on LifeSite: 'I would support any
restriction on abortion... And I would vigorously defend such laws in
court, all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.'

IN 2017: Matt Kacsmaryk was nominated to be a federal judge for the north
Texas district court.

His confirmation stalled for years. We learned he even lied to hide just
how bizarre his obsession with controlling people’s bodies really is:

[ [link removed] ]Headline from The Dallas Morning News: John Cornyn says Judge Kacsmaryk
should not have taken name off anti-abortion article. Excerpt: 'The
process only works if we... have candor and truthful answers. So that's
significant,' said Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee
responsible for vetting Kacsmaryk's nomination.

IN 2018: While his nomination languished in the Senate, Kacsmaryk made an
investment in his future.

So he became 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.

IN 2019: Now a U.S. Senator, Josh Hawley decided to make Kacsmaryk, his
campaign donor, a federal judge.

Hawley confirmed Kacsmaryk to the northern Texas district court — despite
bipartisan opposition over Kacsmaryk’s Big Brother views on contraceptives
and personal freedoms.

IN 2022: A lawsuit was filed in the northern Texas district court by
activist lawyers seeking to ban an abortion pill that millions have used
safely. Abortion medication accounts for over half of all abortions.

Josh Hawley’s wife led the suit. His donor was the judge.

the right, a Vanity Fair headline that reads: Erin Morrow Hawley is
leading the charge to ban abortion medication. She's also Josh Hawley's
wife.

APRIL 2023: 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
mifepristone in all 50 states.

This was the first time a judge has ever unilaterally tried to take a drug
off the market against FDA objections.

Then, in his official capacity as U.S. Senator, Josh Hawley submitted 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.

AND NOW: We’ve learned that the mifepristone case (led by Hawley’s wife)
is being reviewed by the Supreme Court.

But this is hardly the first time that the Hawley family business has made
it all the way to the Supreme Court:

[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Josh Hawley on June 24, 2022: For those who wondered why I
said, two years ago, I would vote to confirm ONLY Supreme Court Justices
who acknowledged Roe was wrong, this is why. Amy Barrett was the first
openly pro-life nominee of my lifetime. And she was the deciding vote.

This is what corruption looks like — and this year, we’re going to make
Hawley own it. [ [link removed] ]So if you’re ready to end these Big Brother attacks on
abortion and send a real warrior for working people to represent Missouri
in the U.S. Senate, please rush a donation of $10 or
whatever you can afford to my grassroots campaign right now.

Senators shouldn’t be in the business of using their position to benefit
their family’s legal careers and activism — especially if there’s
financial incentive to do so. And there shouldn’t even be a hint of
campaign donations impacting who, when, and how a judge gets on a court.

When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I’ll vote to restore Roe v. Wade. But I’ll
also fight to end corruption like this by:

 1. Barring Senators from voting on judicial nominees who’ve given to
their campaigns.
 2. Barring Senators from lobbying any court to benefit an immediate
relative.

Everyday Missourians deserve a Senator who will stand up and fight for
their personal freedoms — not another corrupt politician obsessed with
controlling our bodies, families, and lives — and I’m ready to serve.

[ [link removed] ]If you’re with me, please rush a donation of $10 or
whatever you can afford to our grassroots campaign to defeat Josh Hawley
today. Real people like you are the only folks I ever want to be
accountable to in the U.S. Senate, so your support means the world to me.
