Fourteen state attorneys general sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warning about a “growing threat to the country’s waterways as a result of the pharmaceutical drug mifepristone,” which is part of the chemical abortion regimen.
They are asking the EPA to place mifepristone and its generics on the federal list of drinking water contaminants that need further investigation.
Because the number of chemical abortions is exploding across America.
The abortion industry has moved from clinics to toilets. Women are told to take the pills and flush everything directly into our water supply.
About 700,000 chemical abortions each year send long-lasting abortion drugs and human remains into America’s wastewater systems.
These are serious public health and environmental concerns being raised by 14 states. The EPA must investigate.
We have launched the “Abortion in Our Water” campaign to raise awareness. Our team has met with the EPA, FDA, HHS, and the Trump administration.
We need you to urge Congress to act now with a flood of your faxes.
This multistate letter to the EPA warns that use of mifepristone is now at an all-time high. Chemical abortions accounted for 63% of all U.S. abortions in the formal health care system in 2023 — up from 31% in 2014 and 14% in 2005.
What we do know is that mifepristone blocks progesterone, thus starving the baby. This drug has long-lasting metabolites that remain in the water because the water treatment plants are generally not capable of filtering out these chemicals.
This letter points out that “recent research suggests that mifepristone can affect reproductive organ development and fertility.”
This is a public health crisis. In addition to these chemicals, the water systems were never designed for human remains. These 14 states urge the EPA to add mifepristone to its Contaminant Candidate List under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Demand that Congress take action now to study and stop this public health threat.
Liberty Counsel Action’s special report, Abortion in Our Water, estimates that roughly 30-40 tons of hazardous medical waste — including human remains — are entering water systems.
Chemical abortion directly affects every person.
Hospitals and clinics are not allowed to flush medical waste down the drain for good reason. But now chemicals that cause miscarriage and human remains are invading our water supply.
Urge Congress to act now to protect public health.
The FDA first approved mifepristone in 2000. But the environmental review relied on limited data from a time prior to the explosion of mail-order abortion pills under Obama and Biden. And neither the FDA nor the EPA ever considered human remains entering the water supply.
In 1996, federal drug officials acknowledged that mifepristone may enter the environment through patient excretion, disposal of pharmaceutical waste, or emissions from manufacturing.
But nearly three decades later, the EPA still has not fully answered the obvious question:
What happens when abortion pill chemicals and their active metabolites enter wastewater and drinking water systems at today’s scale?
The American people deserve an answer.
Tell Congress to investigate mifepristone in America’s water supply.
Help us sound the alarm through our Abortion in Our Water campaign. We are exposing what Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion want hidden.
The states signing the letter are AL, AK, AR, FL, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MO, NE, OK, SC, and TX.
We need your help to expand the work.
