Abortion Drug Dealer Hub Referred To DOJ For Investigation– thefederalist.com

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is asking the Trump Administration’s legal enforcement arm to formally investigate abortion drug dealer marketplace Plan C for flouting the law by advertising the shipment of mifepristone to states where it is banned.

Hawley previously introduced legislation to ban the popular and dangerous abortion drug and give survivors a legal remedy against foreign abortion pill makers. Successfully curbing the illicit shipping of those pills into states where they are banned requires more, including intervention from the Department of Justice in the form of a criminal investigation, he wrote in a criminal referral on Monday.

“At the center of the effort is an entity called Plan C, a left-wing dark-money operation that styles itself a ‘public health information campaign’ but functions, in practice, as the referral and logistics hub for shipping abortion drugs into states whose laws prohibit it,” Hawley wrote in his letter to Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche.

More than a dozen states ban mifepristone for chemical abortions. Yet, websites like Plan C enable anyone with Internet access, even people in pro-life states, to order abortion pills to their door in less than a minute.
