Students for Life of America’s (SFLA) groundbreaking peer-reviewed study proved that the chemical abortion pill mifepristone is in our drinking water. Now, it’s time for the government to get it out.

Every 5 years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes a Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL), which identifies water contaminants that should be tracked and regulated by the government in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.

The EPA is in the process of making a new list. Their current draft does not include mifepristone.

I recently testified to the EPA about adding mifepristone to the list. Here is what I learned about how the EPA determines whether a contaminant should be added to the list — and how mifepristone fits that standard to a tee.

They want to track things that are FREQUENTLY in the water, which raises the level of concern.

Chemical abortion is the number one method of abortion in the U.S., with more than 6 in 10 abortions every year done with mifepristone. According to abortion industry math, over 50 tons of chemically tainted blood, placenta tissue, human remains, and human waste enter our waterways each year.

They want to track things that have a substantial likelihood of occurring as ongoing events and exposure.

The abortion industry is clear that they will not stop this practice, as “the genie is out of the bottle.” Blue states are setting up criminal enterprises to traffic chemical abortion pills into red states and block legal efforts to stop it.

The likelihood that chemical abortion pill trafficking continues is 100%.

They want to track things that can cause an adverse event if you are exposed.

A peer-reviewed study shows that mifepristone is in the water, including in tap water, and that it is in higher levels where toilet water is recycled.

The goal is to improve consumer confidence in drinking water.

Infertility is widespread as birth rates drop to new lows, and more people all the time are taking progesterone to get and stay pregnant.

We need to know the scope of mifepristone water pollution to provide safe drinking water and to protect the health and fertility of those exposed to the progesterone blocker.

They don’t want to add something to the list that does not have a confirmed test.

We have an EPA-standard test, as confirmed by our peer-reviewed study.

It’s clear: mifepristone belongs on the list

Because of this, we ask that mifepristone be added to the CCL to protect the health and fertility of all exposed to drinking water — particularly recycled toilet water — to determine the scope of an issue that is a result of federal policy at the FDA.
