Many American men and women don’t realize that their daily morning cup of coffee or cool drink of water during a workout contain may contain “forever chemicals,” which include progesterone-blocking chemicals, vital for men, women, and babies.

While the volume of chemicals ingested depends on where a person lives and where the water comes from, it is a growing problem. What many may not know is that deadly Chemical Abortion Pills and human remains are flushed into our waterways and may be depriving men and women of progesterone, a hormone that is crucial for their health.

 The Connection Between Forever Chemicals and Chemical Abortion Pills

In the United States a two-drug combination of mifepristone and misoprostol ends a preborn life; “The first drug starves a baby by cutting off progesterone, sometimes called the “pregnancy hormone” that equips the uterus to feed and protect the baby,” wrote Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins for the National Review. “The second causes horrific contractions, expelling what can be a living infant.”

These pills are an unnatural blocker of progesterone, crucial for the fertility of men and women, as well as for the survival of a baby in the womb. During the Biden-Harris Administration, regulations were changed by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) on in-person testing, enabling Online-No Test distribution of Chemical Abortion Pills, and now, reportedly six in 10 abortions are DIY-abortions in women’s homes, schools, and places of business.

As a result, pathological medical waste is flushed away with endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s) also known as ‘forever chemicals’ in our waterways, an issue SFLA has been fighting tirelessly. In fact, we filed five citizen petitions with the FDA, four of which address environmental concerns.

We have also called directly on the EPA to track the forever chemicals of Chemical Abortion Pills, something that is gaining group support, with more than 40 pro-family/pro-life organizations engaged. In fact, during the last session of Congress, then Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Josh Brecheen led a bicameral letter, echoing our concerns and calling on the EPA to begin tracking. At issue are three, active metabolites causing disruption, as studies in other countries detail.

In SFLA’s letter, President Kristan Hawkins notes:

“In recent years, and largely in 2023, the EPA has increased its efforts to regulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”). With rulemaking, guidance, published initiatives, newly established pollution standards, and more, the EPA has addressed concerns of pollution as a result of PFAS being released on large scales into the environment. The EPA’s increased understanding of the environmental harms these chemicals create has led it to take a closer look at the issue and ultimately implement new strategies and regulations to control the release of PFAS and monitor their impact more carefully. In implementing these new initiatives, the EPA has shown a commitment to monitoring and controlling the effect that a constant stream of chemicals and harmful substances – no matter how small those substances may be – may have on the environment.

The EPA’s commitment to the above course of action should not be limited to only the harm caused by PFAS, but should also extend to other similar sorts of environmental harm … This letter requests that Mifepristone be viewed in the same lens with which the government looks at PFAS, and that regulation of Mifepristone follows in a similar manner to the regulation of other harmful substances.

Regardless of one’s personal views on abortion, no one should be drinking their neighbor’s abortion, and no preborn child deserves to die a death by brutal starvation.  

Every day, more than 1,076 babies are butchered by surgical abortion or starved to death through Chemical Abortion Pills by Planned Parenthood alone. Planned Parenthood founded Guttmacher Institute, an abortion apologist and think tank, speculates that through the horrific efforts of the abortion industry across the board, more than 1 million babies’ lives are ended by intentional abortion annually, though without a National Abortion Reporting law that it is impossible to confirm.

For babies chemically killed, their tiny bodies are robbed of a proper burial or headstone, and instead they are sentenced to a temporary tomb in a toilet until they are flushed into a watery grave of sewage, often without even being given a name.

These ‘forever chemicals,’ along with tiny human remains, chemically tainted blood, and placenta tissue, taint our wastewater system nationwide.

How Blocking Progesterone Effects Preborn Babies

The pills were designed to be a death sentence for the preborn. Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins writing at National Review put it like this: “The first drug starves a baby by cutting off progesterone, sometimes called the “pregnancy hormone” that equips the uterus to feed and protect the baby. The second causes horrific contractions, expelling what can be a living infant.”

But horrifically, a baby can be born alive as some abortions can be botched. 277 babies were born alive that we know of after an abortion as reported by Family Research Council.

How Blocking Progesterone Effects Men

Progesterone production plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy body, whether it be male, female, or preborn child, especially to enable the flourishing of fertility and the body’s reproductive system.

For men, progesterone is the life-source that creates testosterone, maintains cardiovascular health, balance estrogen, balance hormones/sex drive and cortisol (the stress hormone). As time goes on, progesterone holds the reigns of the andropause phase in men’s health and eases the decline of testosterone. Progesterone helps men “preserve their masculinity” by slowing down the rise of estrogen levels as men age and protects the brain through nerve function and receptors.

Blocking the natural rhythm of progesterone, reportedly has harmful impacts on men such as: low libido, mood changes, weight gain, fatigue, muscle loss, and poor sleep.

Numerous studies reveal that progesterone-blocking EDCs negatively impact men, particularly affecting their fertility, sperm count, possibility of genital malformations, epigenetic changes, abnormal reproductive functions like decline in semen quality, reproductive health disorders, poor fertility, and reproductive disfunction.

How Blocking Progesterone Effects Pregnant Women and Babies 

For women, ingesting progesterone-blocking chemicals can affect fertility and open the pandora’s box of health issues. One study found that “Disruptions in female reproductive functions by endocrine disrupting chemicals may result in subfertility, infertility, improper hormone production, estrous and menstrual cycle abnormalities, anovulation, and early reproductive senescence.”

For pregnant women, the risks are much greater, exposing a developing human to progesterone-blocking EDC’s.

Studies reveal the following effects on pregnant women and their babies: DNA fragmentation, sperm DNA damage, impaired fetal androgen production/action, and lactation changes.

Why we want to track progesterone-blocking EDCs in our water

All over the country, progesterone-blocking chemicals can be in the one thing that humans need every day: water.

What we rely on for life should not be polluting our health, the environment and animals. Scientists with a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) “determined that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) were present in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent, water, and fish tissue in urban waterways in the Great Lakes and upper Mississippi River Regions (Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio) during 1999 through 2009.”

While numerous studies and scientists can point to the polluting presence of these chemicals, they are not being removed. Instead of striving to remove health-hazard chemicals, studies are analyzing the long-term effects of these chemicals

A long term study in 2015 by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) documented the persistence of progesterone-disrupting chemicals in water: “EDCs that are not removed completely during the treatment process, and once introduced into the receiving stream, the compounds can persist for long distances downstream.” (emphasis added)

Demanding Federal Action

Demanding answers to how these forever chemicals effect the environment, we wrote a letter to Congress on February 26, 2024, stating that “no effort has been made to understand the environmental impact of the Biden Administration’s Chemical Abortion Policy.”

With President Donald Trump’s efforts underway to Make America Healthy Again and fulfill his campaign promise to ensure that the United States has “crystal clear, crystal clean” drinking water, the administration should start is with regulating the dumping of endocrine disrupting chemicals in our tap water.

We have reason to hope that President Trump and his administration will fulfill his campaign promise to the American people. During his Senate nomination hearing,  President Donald Trump’s nominee, Robert Kennedy Jr. promised that he would lead research on the safety of mifepristone, which is one of the two drugs in the Chemical Abortion Pill cocktail regime.

Drinking clean drinking water free of progesterone-blocking chemicals should not be the exception: it should be the standard.

Exposing environmental concerns with Chemical Abortion Pills is a battle that SFLA and our sister organization, Students for Life Action (SFLAction), have been fighting for a long time:

• SFLAction submitted a letter to Congress, alongside forty other pro-life leaders, to demand the EPA conduct regular and comprehensive environmental testing of PFAs just like any other “forever chemical.”
• We also submitted a legal analysis to the EPA with detailed reasons to track Chemical Abortion Pills.
• SFLA filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court for the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine.
• In multiple states, SFLAction has lobbied to introduce and ensure passage of laws that would protect the environment from pollutants in Chemical Abortion Pills.
• Additionally, we submitted four petitions to the FDA demanding they:
• Add Red Bag Medical Waste requirements to reduce Chemical Abortion Pill pollution.
• Restore high health and safety standards (known as REMS – Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies) to protect women’s lives.
• Complete studies to ensure protection for endangered species.
• Comply with the Clean Water Act by requiring protection for water, especially recreational water.
• And now, halt the relabeling of Chemical Abortion Pills.

No one should be drinking their neighbor’s abortion in their tap water, endangering their fertility and recklessly risking their ability to grow a family. And most importantly, no preborn child deserves to be violently starved the death and then flushed away to a watery grave of oblivion.
