Students for Life Action (SFLAction) is ecstatic to see our very own Clean Water for All Life Act being introduced by Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill requires the use of biohazard “catch kits” during Chemical Abortions and holds Chemical Abortion Pill vendors accountable for waterway contamination from Abortion Water Pollution.
For too long, Chemical Abortion Pill pushers have distributed deadly drugs, resulting in chemically tainted blood, placenta tissue, and human remains contaminating our waterways. Nobody, not the government or the Abortion Lobby, has stopped to think about the devastation caused to the human beings who are flushed away — or those who drink the water.
What’s at Stake?
More than 50 tons of chemically tainted blood and placenta tissue, along with precious human remains, are dumped into America’s waterways every year. This number comes from the abortion industry’s own math about the scope of death by Chemical Abortion Pills. It is no wonder we have had significant upticks in infertility and miscarriages in the United States; unmetabolized progesterone blockers infiltrating our drinking water.
Not only is aquatic, plant, and animal life drinking tainted placentas that our waterways can’t filter out, but we also may be drinking this in our tap water, depending on your water source.
And it’s going completely unchecked — mifepristone is not on the EPA’s Forever Chemical List that tracks harmful chemicals in our drinking water.
You don’t have to be pro-life to want crystal clear drinking water. And you don’t have to be pro-life to know that dumping tons of human remains into our water supply is a massive danger to all life.
This should be a major concern for every human being, including pro-choice people. This is a human rights atrocity and an environmental crisis, caused by the greed of Chemical Abortion Pill pushers and negligent federal policy. Our legislation would address this.
What The Legislation Does
The Clean Water for All Life Act would require that, for every dose of Mifepristone distributed, a Red Bag Medical Waste Catch-Kit be packaged with it. Women and girls going through a chemical abortion then need to catch the fetal remains in the catch-kit bag and deliver the bag and its contents to their local hospital, doctor, or medical waste location, just like with insulin needles or any other procedure done at home.
This bill also restores in-person care — something sex traffickers and predators will hate, as anonymous, online purchases are an abuser’s dream scenario. Chemical Abortion providers would also be required to conduct a physical examination and be physically present at the location where the chemical abortion takes place.
Too many women are using Chemical Abortion Pills without any medical oversite and being horrifically harmed and even killed via the Chemical Abortion Pills due to their preborn child’s remains and placenta tissue remaining in the uterus, causing infections, and the deadly pills being used too far along in pregnancy.
Taking these measures is common sense.
What We Have Said About the Issue
Starting in 2017, Students for Life started raising concerns about abortion water pollution allowed by the reckless policies of three Democratic Party Presidents — the Clinton, Obama, and Biden Administrations — who forced Chemical Abortion Pills on the market and then deregulated them. “But even if you support abortion, that doesn’t mean you want to drink abortion water pollution,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins.
We have also introduced Clean Water for All Life Acts in multiple states, including Maine, Montana, Idaho, Wisconsin, and many more. Students for Life has also published five Citizens’ Petitions related to the harms of abortion and water pollution and worked with Congress to send two bicameral letters to the EPA during the Biden and Trump Administrations.
Who Cares
In addition to the state legislators, many federal members of Congress and national pro-life and pro-family groups have called on HHS, EPA, FDA, and the Trump Administration to act on the dangers of abortion water pollution. Recent letters include:
What’s Next
The abortion industry has been given a de facto permit to dump human bodies. This has to stop. As the American Academy of Family Physicians observes, “Home based health care can create medical waste which can be hazardous if not disposed properly.”
We must end the cycle — make women stop and think about what’s going to happen — to make the abortion industry stop its inhumane business. Rep. Miller bringing our model legislation to the U.S. House is a step towards illustrating and addressing the substantial environmental concerns about the corporate dumping of medical waste from the abortion industry — something hospitals and outpatient medical facilities rightfully are not allowed to do because of risks to public health.
We must hold the EPA, FDA, and HHS’s feet to the fire to address this grotesque abuse of medical waste dumping by the abortion industry. We need to encourage mothers to stop and think about what will happen next. The abortion industry must be held accountable, especially as they claim to care about women’s health. These departments should conduct their own testing on our water and keep abortion vendors accountable federally so abortion vendors won’t get away with dumping tons of dangerous, hormone-disrupting medical waste into our water, ultimately affecting our whole ecosystem.
