John — there
is no U.S. Senator more personally responsible for the threats to in vitro
fertilization and contraception than Josh Hawley.

FIRST: The Guardian exposed Josh Hawley’s role in the shutdowns of IVF
clinics in Alabama earlier this year. Hawley’s legal arguments from
leading the Hobby Lobby case — that contraception “may induce an abortion
by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg” — served as the foundation
for the Alabama ruling. Those same arguments continue to threaten access
to IVF in other states with “personhood” laws like Missouri.
Hawley even cosponsored a federal version of that “personhood” law,
putting IVF access at risk nationwide.
THEN: Just last week, Hawley voted against the Right to Contraception Act
in the U.S. Senate. It was no big surprise, considering one of the
highlights of Hawley’s career was working on the Hobby Lobby case aimed at
letting employers decide whether to restrict access to birth control for
their workers.
NOW: New reporting in Missouri confirmed that the future of IVF remains
uncertain.

Hawley said his crusade to end reproductive freedom is “core to who I am”
— and he’s spent six years in the U.S. Senate proving that to all of us.
He led the charge to overturn Roe v. Wade by appointing control-obsessed
judges and writing amicus briefs from his taxpayer-funded U.S. Senate
office. That paved the way for Missouri’s total abortion ban, enacted just
minutes after Roe was overturned, which is regarded as one of the most
extreme bans in the country.
In the weeks after Roe fell, Hawley even co-sponsored a national abortion
ban in the U.S. Senate.
And right now, the Supreme Court is considering the case argued by Josh
Hawley’s wife and originally ruled on by Josh Hawley’s campaign donor
judge to ban the most commonly used abortion pill, mifepristone, in all 50
states. We’re expecting their decision any day now.

Hawley has spent his first term proving that he wants absolute control
over how we build our families and live our lives. We can’t afford to give
him another.
Lucas Kunce is the 13-year Marine veteran running to replace Josh Hawley
and take back power for working Missourians. He wants to end Hawley’s
attacks on reproductive freedom — from abortion to birth control to IVF —
and finally put everyday people in charge of their own bodies, families,
and lives. And this year, we have a real opportunity to make it happen.
Hawley’s failure to actually stand up for our state has earned him the
lowest approval rating of any GOP U.S. Senator up for re-election this
year. If we’re going to win this race, we need your help to keep exposing
his record and getting the truth in front of Missouri voters every day
until November 5.
That’s why we’re urgently asking for your help,
John: [ [link removed] ]Will you rush a donation of
$10, $25, or just whatever works best for you
today? Every dollar gives us the ability to get Lucas and this message in
front of Missourians — and since our campaign is not taking a cent from
corporate PACs, we mean it when we say anything you can give makes a big
impact.
