Josh Hawley's anti-freedom record on reproductive rights is the most extreme of any member of the U.S. Senate.
It all started years ago, when Hawley led arguments in the Hobby Lobby case that sought to restrict access to contraceptives. The Guardian recently exposed that Hawley's legal argument from that case — that contraception "may induce an abortion by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg" — served as the foundation for the IVF ruling in Alabama that now threatens access to IVF in states with fetal "personhood" laws like Missouri.
Hawley even co-sponsored a federal version of that "personhood" law, that puts IVF access at risk nationwide.
Then, there was the Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade. It was a direct result of work by Josh Hawley's wife and a shadowy, billionaire-funded group of activist attorneys. Hawley used his taxpayer-funded office to support their legal work.
Moments after the Dobbs decision came down, Missouri became the first state to outlaw abortion — and Hawley bragged about how he got the justices on the court to make it happen.
Weeks later, Josh Hawley co-sponsored a national abortion ban in the Senate.
Last year, that same group of activist attorneys and a corporate judge tried to ban the most commonly used abortion pill, mifepristone, nationwide.
Josh Hawley's wife led the suit. The judge was a campaign donor Josh Hawley confirmed to the court.
To Josh Hawley, the effort to end reproductive freedom nationwide is all in the family business. And this November, we're going to defeat him.
