Hawley Urges DOJ Probe of Plan C Over Abortion Pills Sent to 3 Banned States

Summary
A Thursday letter from Sen. Josh Hawley asks Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to open a criminal investigation into Plan C, which he says helps route abortion pills into states where they are restricted.
Plan C allegedly directs women in Florida, Oklahoma and Texas to foreign clinics and online vendors that mail the drugs without prescriptions, identification or medical consultations.
Hawley also says the group advises users to hide their digital footprint and links to providers prescribing abortion pills through 14 weeks of pregnancy, beyond FDA labeling for mifepristone.
The referral argues those activities could violate federal drug-importation and prescription laws, as well as conspiracy and aiding-and-abetting statutes, and seeks scrutiny of Plan C's suppliers and foreign partners.
