Despite rapidly increasing use of mifepristone, the ‘EPA has yet to review its potential contaminant effects.’
It is well established that the abortion drug regimen is harmful for women and fatal for unborn babies. A new letter to the Environmental Protection Agency, however, asks it to probe whether mifepristone pills and their “endocrine-disrupting effects” pose a danger to all Americans and even animals due to their potential contamination of U.S. drinking water.
In their request to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Sen. James Lankford and Rep. Josh Brecheen ask the regulatory agency to consider “evaluating the potential contaminant effects of this drug as the agency develops the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 6 (UCMR 6).”
“The American people deserve to know what contaminants might be present in their drinking water and their potential impacts on public health,” the letter states.
Mifepristone is the most popular abortifacient on the market. As the letter notes, its proliferation, which can be attributed to abortion giants such as Planned Parenthood and the elimination of safeguards that opened the door for mail-order abortifacients, is often understated due to the “unrecorded number” of DIY drug-induced abortions “performed without the oversight of a clinician.”
Despite rapidly increasing use of the abortion drug, the letter acknowledges that the “EPA has yet to review its potential contaminant effects.”
A 1996 evaluation from the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) revealed “Mifepristone may enter the environment from excretion by patients, from disposal of pharmaceutical waste, or from emissions from manufacturing sites.” CDER ultimately determined, however, that abortion pills likely do not have “adverse environmental effects.”
The Republicans suggest that conclusion is likely outdated because it happened “long before the exponential rise in at-home chemical abortions and widespread use” of what they referred to as the “potent progesterone blocker.” --->READ MORE HERE

Republicans asked EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to probe whether contamination is causing infertility:
A group of Republican lawmakers asked EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on Wednesday to look at the dangers of flushing the abortion pill into America’s drinking water, according to a letter first shared with The Daily Wire.
Led by Rep. Josh Brecheen and Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, the lawmakers urged Zeldin to take steps to probe whether the byproducts of mifepristone were ending up in drinking water and negatively impacting fertility. They argued that the deadly pills were not only ending the lives of unborn children, but also contaminating drinking water, making it unsafe for all Americans.
“We recognize that the greatest tragedy of every abortion is the murder of the innocent. But we are also concerned that activist bureaucrats overlooked real public health risks posed by mifepristone in their crusade to expand abortion access,” Brecheen told The Daily Wire. “With chemical abortion now the most common abortion method in America, the public deserves answers about how these potent hormone disruptors affect our water supply and contribute to our nation’s rising infertility rates.”
The letter notes that there were at least 648,500 medication abortions in 2023, and that many chemicals from the pills, meant to kill an unborn child, were ending up in the water system. The lawmakers said that since mifepristone is meant to disrupt the hormones of a pregnant woman that it could have endocrine-disrupting effects for the general public when introduced into the water system.
“If residual amounts of the drug and its metabolites persist in wastewater, prolonged exposure could potentially interfere with a person’s fertility, regardless of sex. We believe it is reckless to allow a known progesterone blocker to be flushed into America’s drinking water without knowing definitively if it impacts fertility rates,” the letter says. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
