Students for Life of America (SFLA) has been sounding the alarm on harmful chemicals in our water for years. Now, researchers are openly saying we were right all along. 

A recent report from the National Bureau of Economic Research showed that up to 20% of Americans are drinking water is unsafe. 

“The study found that drinking water for 10 to 20 percent of Americans violates safety standards, even as overall pollution levels have declined substantially in recent decades,” wrote Newsweek regarding the report. 

Newsweek pointed out the insufficiency of U.S. water standards laws to keep us safe. The report noted that of the over 42,000 chemicals used by U.S. industry, the Safe Drinking Water Act only regulates around 90. 

SFLA has called on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to expand its water contaminant tracking list to include metabolites in mifepristone, the first deadly pill in the Chemical Abortion cocktail that poses a serious threat to public health. 

And SFLA is not the only one telling the government to take action. Everyone from doctors and environmentalists to state attorneys general to sitting members of the U.S. Congress are telling the EPA that enough is enough. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1.1 million people, or 1 in 300 people, in the United States get sick from contaminated drinking water, citing contamination of germs and man-made chemicals as a cause. Health effects listed include pregnancy complications and low infant birth weights. 

Addressing this problem remains crucial as 81% of online abortion vendors break federal laws to send women as many Chemical Abortion Pills as possible, according to a recent Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) report.  

Members of Congress have allegedly been told to expect the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) long-promised review of mifepristone’s safety to be completed by September, a year after the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) promised to do the review.
