Your water may be contaminated by abortion pills, officials warn.<\/p>\n

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) told the Daily Caller News Foundation that it is reviewing comments from 14 attorneys general urging the agency to classify mifepristone as a water contaminant.

\u201cPharmaceuticals, like Mifepristone, encompass a diverse group of chemicals, including prescription and over the counter drugs,\u201d an EPA spokesperson told the DCNF. \u201cEPA is currently reviewing comments submitted on its draft contaminant candidate list 6 (CCL 6), which lists pharmaceuticals as a group, and human health benchmarks for 374 individual pharmaceuticals that are approved by the FDA and may occur in surface and groundwaters and\/or treated drinking water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile EPA cannot predetermine the outcome of its rulemaking, the intent of the draft sixth Candidate Contaminant List is to begin the process of evaluating the occurrence of several contaminant groups, such as pharmaceuticals, in drinking water. EPA\u2019s mission and the intent of the Safe Drinking Water Act is ensuring safe drinking water for the American public,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cMillions of Americans have long demanded answers about pharmaceuticals in their water, and EPA is proud to have announced actions to address these concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

For over a year, lawmakers and others have raised concerns over the abortion pill\u2019s potential risk of harming the general population\u2019s fertility<\/p>\n

\u201c[Americans] deserve, at the very least, a science-based review \u2026 [on mifepristone\u2019s] presence in wastewater and any impacts\u00a0it would have on public health,\u201d a spokesperson for Republican Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway, who initiated a June 5\u00a0 to the EPA, told the DCNF. \u201c[One] in 25 women who take chemical abortion drugs end up in the emergency room, and they commonly suffer from severe hemorrhaging, serious infection, incomplete abortions requiring surgery, and other complications as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have become aware of a growing threat to the country\u2019s waterways,\u201d the letter stated. The letter alleged that the Food and Drug Administration eliminated many of the protections minimizing mifepristone\u2019s potential public health risks over the past decade, leading to waste tainted by the pill being flushed into waterways and unintentionally ingested by the general population.<\/p>\n

Progesterone is a hormone that strengthens the uterus\u2019 linings so fertilized eggs can grow. Mifepristone is a progesterone blocker, which means its designed to end pregnancies by preventing that hormone from being used, softening those linings and triggering contractions. However, recent studies suggest that the pill can affect reproductive organ development and fertility, according to the letter.<\/p>\n

Last year, 19 members of Congress signed a letter asking the EPA to review the pill\u2019s environmental risks. When residual amounts of progesterone blockers are flushed into waterways, prolonged exposure to them could interfere with the fertility of both women and men, the June 2025 alleged.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want citizens to know that the abortion pill regimen is contaminating our water supply,\u201d Nebraska Right to Life executive director Sandy Danek told the DCNF when asked about Republican Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers\u2018 decision to join Hanaway\u2019s coalition. \u201cDuring the chemical abortion process, usually done at home, the \u2018remains\u2019 are very likely to be disposed of in the toilet. Unlike a medical facility with medical waste protocols, the fetal remains, placenta, blood and amniotic fluid are flushed down the drain. Wastewater treatment plants and septic systems are not equipped to remove human remains, large tissue or pharmaceuticals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some doubt mifepristone\u2019s alleged environmental risks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is absolutely no evidence that this is an environmental issue,\u201d Center for Biological Diversity (CBD)\u2019s Environmental Health Science Director Nathan Donley said, according to PolitiFact. \u201cPharmaceutical waste can be a big issue when we\u2019re talking about widely used drugs, but to somehow point to mifepristone as a bad actor here is completely disingenuous.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBD is a \u201cleft-of-center environmental activist and legal advocacy organization\u201d that advocates for population control, according to InfluenceWatch.<\/p>\n

Almost two thirds of abortions are done with abortion pills like mifepristone, according to the Guttmacher Institute. (RELATED: Josh Hawley Introduces Bill Forcing Trump Admin To Protect Unborn From Chemical Abortion<\/strong>)<\/p>\n
