The abortion pill RU-486 (mifepristone) has a troubling corporate lineage to the company that manufactured the gas used in Nazi concentration camps.

During World War II, the German chemical conglomerate IG Farben supplied Zyklon-B, the cyanide-based pesticide used to murder millions in extermination camps like Auschwitz. After the war, IG Farben was dismantled due to its involvement in war crimes, but many of its assets and operations were absorbed into a successor company called Hoechst AG, which became one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical firms.

In the 1980s, Hoechst AG became the majority owner of the French company Roussel-Uclaf, which developed and brought to market the chemical abortion pill RU-486.

And now this progesterone-blocking drug and human fetal remains — up to 40+ tons per year — is entering our water. We cannot be silent. Fax Congress now. Demand hearings. Demand action.

The abortion pill contains mifepristone, a drug that acts as an endocrine disruptor. A recent study found this abortion drug to be 22 times more dangerous than originally reported.

This is the same chemical now polluting our streams and rivers.

• Environmental Catastrophe: Our report details how long-lasting metabolites and decaying aborted fetal remains are impacting wastewater treatment plants — facilities never designed to handle such potent biological and chemical hazards, especially at the levels they are facing now.

• Public Health at Risk: Our water system is not the only thing at risk. These chemicals are also at risk of bioaccumulating in fish and other wildlife, potentially landing on your dinner plate.

For expectant mothers, we need to ask the question whether even trace exposure to mifepristone could trigger miscarriages. Is water, once safe for drinking, silently decreasing fertility rates?

These questions are not theoretical — these drugs are entering our water ... and the impact is not even being measured or analyzed.

Congress needs to hear from you. Tell Congress, the FDA, and the EPA to act now to end this health crisis.

We’re Building a Policy Wave — but it needs your help.

We are building a coalition around this issue. But waves don’t break until the final crest. That’s why your voice matters. We need your help to push these legislators’ votes over the top.

If we act now, Congress can use this moment to pass real, protective legislation. If we hesitate, they’ll revert to business as usual — and this crisis will deepen — hidden in plain sight.

Every gift of 25, 50, 100 dollars, or more helps us deliver reports, host briefings, mobilize grassroots networks, and track response. Recurring gifts multiply your impact — helping us build pressure every week, every month.

Your voice, your support, could be what tips the scale.

Help us deliver this wake-up call to Congress before the window closes.

For life and liberty,

Mat Staver, Chairman
