[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

John,

This coming Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear 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 I hope you’ll give me a moment to
explain:

played a key role in the recently overturned Roe v. Wade Supreme Court
case. Beneath that, a tweet from Hawley: 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. On
the right, a headline from Vanity Fair: Erin Morrow Hawley is leading the
charge to ban abortion medication. She's also Josh Hawley's wife.

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:

[ [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.

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.

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 next week,
there’s a real possibility that abortion medication could be outlawed
across the country.

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.

'judge-shop' as was done in abortion pill case. On the right, Jezebel
headline: Members of Congress ask Supreme Court to Slash Access to the
Abortion Pill.

This election is our only opportunity to hold Hawley accountable for all
of this. [ [link removed] ]So if you’re ready to end these Big Brother attacks on
