 John — this week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the mifepristone case aimed at banning the most commonly used abortion medication nationwide.
Josh Hawley and his corrupt family business made that case happen, in the same way they led the charge to overturn Roe v. Wade, and Hawley abused his power as Missouri’s U.S. Senator to do it all. Please let me explain:  In 2017, Matt 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 languished 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. Once Hawley was sworn into the U.S. Senate in 2019, he decided to make Kacsmaryk, his campaign donor, a federal judge. Hawley confirmed Kacsmaryk to the northern Texas district court, despite even more bipartisan opposition over Kacsmaryk’s Big Brother views on contraceptives and personal freedoms. Flash forward to 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.  In April 2022, 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. Just days after Kacsmaryk’s ruling, Josh Hawley used his 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. Now, that mifepristone case, which was decided by Hawley’s donor judge and led by Hawley’s wife, is being heard before the Supreme Court. But this will hardly be the first time Hawley has taken his mission to restrict reproductive freedom to the Supreme Court…  This is what corruption looks like — and this election is our one and only opportunity to hold Hawley accountable for it.
