To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the The Missouri Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
Public records show that the Office of the Attorney General filed to intervene in a federal lawsuit in Texas over the abortion drug mifepristone in November 2023, one year after the suit was originally filed and as the case was being considered by the Supreme Court. The suit is called Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the plaintiffs are represented by the legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom. The AG complaint also says the Comstock Act of 1873 (18 U.S. Code §§ 1461–1462) bars the mailing of all abortion drugs, even in states where abortion is legal, a legal theory championed by lawyer Jonathan Mitchell.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
