Show-Me Senator's Wife Erin Hawley Leading Fight Against Abortion Pill

Credit where it's due . . .

This legal lady maverick is making more progress against abortion tech than any other Missouri leader.

This report skews progressive but offers the best summary of the debate . . .

"The wife in question is Erin Morrow Hawley, Yale Law grad, former Supreme Court clerk, and for the past three years a senior counsel at the conservative advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom. There, in 2022, she was part of the team that got Roe v. Wade overturned, in the most consequential Supreme Court abortion case in the 50-odd years since Roe itself was decided. She is now a lead attorney on the next-most important abortion case: an effort to restrict mifepristone — a drug now used in more than half the abortions in the United States — at the federal level, including for the remaining states with laws protecting abortion access. She has already argued and won at least partial victories in two lower courts; the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments next month. And whether or not Erin herself does the arguments (ADF has not confirmed who will), she will be a key part of the team trying to persuade a conservative-majority Supreme Court that a drug used by millions of women, over two-plus decades, with a rate of serious complications of less than 1 percent, is too risky to be so accessible."
