Many Americans fear that harmful “forever chemicals” and other contaminants in our drinking water from Chemical Abortion Pills are creating risk to human beings, endangered species, and the environment. But the Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t even monitor our water for these pollutants.
To determine how much risk Americans face due to foreign substances in our water, the EPA, under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act, monitors our water for a number of contaminants. However, none of the contaminants found in the Chemical Abortion Pill mifepristone are on that list.
But the EPA is getting ready to add to the list, and it has opened up a public comment period before it does so. Federal regulations can be hard to change once they are in place. So, when the opportunity presents itself to change a regulation and use it to push for an end to toilet bowl abortions, it is crucial that we take advantage of it.
This comment period puts exactly this opportunity before the Pro-Life Generation.
During this comment period, Students for Life Action is calling on the EPA to add the contaminants found in Chemical Abortion Pills to its list. Why is this necessary? I’ll tell you.
The Chemical Abortion Pill mifepristone was initially forced onto the market and deregulated by three Democratic Party presidents — Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Today, mifepristone is often used alongside another pill, misoprostol, to kill preborn babies in the womb.
Deregulation during the COVID-19 pandemic allowed Chemical Abortion Pills to be recklessly and negligently mailed around the country. This has resulted in human embryonic remains and chemically tainted blood and placental tissue being flushed into our waterways. While this change began during the pandemic, it has since become permanent.
In 2024, more than 50 tons of chemical abortion-related waste were likely dumped into America’s waterways — and that’s based on the abortion industry’s math about the number of abortions committed with pills. The true number could be much higher.
While it seems clear that this dumping introduces mifepristone into our waterways, the extent to which mifepristone remains present in our water has never been sufficiently studied. This lack of research, along with the increase in the number of chemical abortions over the past two decades, gives the EPA a strong reason to assess the presence of the drug in the environment and consider any related hazards.
We know that these contaminants harm preborn babies and block progesterone; why would we want them in our water? Since the EPA is concerned about “forever chemicals” tainting our water and harming people, it should obviously monitor whether the contaminants from Chemical Abortion Pills are doing the same.
Here’s the obvious truth: You don’t have to be pro-life to want clean drinking water. All of us have a right to know what the predatory abortion industry is putting in our water. It’s past time for the EPA to do its job.
