Senator Josh Hawley has sent a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche requesting a criminal investigation into Plan C, an organization he claims is facilitating the shipment of abortion pills into states where such actions are prohibited. Hawley describes Plan C as a 'left-wing dark-money operation' that connects women with manufacturers and vendors of abortion pills, including foreign clinics.
In his letter, Hawley alleges that Plan C provides guidance on how to obtain abortion pills illegally and advises users on minimizing their digital footprint. He cites concerns that the group directs women to online vendors that sell abortion drugs without proper medical oversight and that some of these pills are not regulated by the U.S. government.
Hawley argues that the activities of Plan C may violate federal laws, including those related to the importation of unapproved drugs and conspiracy statutes. He has urged the Department of Justice to investigate Plan C, its associated manufacturers, and the network of suppliers involved in shipping abortion drugs into the U.S.
