Kristi Hamrick | September 24, 2026
The FDA’s willingness to see Human Beings Die — Preborn Babies & their Mothers — Seems Extended to Protected Endangered Species “The FDA has ignored environmental law, failing to do the water testing needed to show that dumping tons of mifepristone-poisoned waste into our water isn’t risking the lives and fertility of endangered species, and there are more than 1,500

Nicholas DeSimone | September 21, 2026
For nearly two years, Students for Life of America (SFLA) and Students for Life Action (SFLAction) have pursued one overriding federal objective: ending taxpayer support for Planned Parenthood. Now, our argument to the Trump Administration is that much of the groundwork for a federal debarment review has already been done. SFLAction was calling for Planned Parenthood to be both defunded

Kristi Hamrick | September 11, 2026
“News that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has listened to the voices of thousands of Americans worried about the levels of fertility-crushing pharmaceuticals in the water is a victory for common sense. You don’t have to be pro-life to want crystal-clear drinking water,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins. “For almost a year now, Students for Life spearheaded a grassroots campaign calling for water testing, as

Kristi Hamrick | July 24, 2026
“A study inspired by Students for Life’s clean water advocacy shows that our concerns are valid. In three cities where water was tested, the active metabolites of mifepristone, the Chemical Abortion Pill, were in the water. We need the EPA to nationalize this examination, especially in light of so many struggling with infertility,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins. “You

Students for Life Again Stands with Louisiana in Case Against the Food & Drug Administration, Still Dropping the Ball in Protecting Human Beings & Endangered Species from Deadly Chemical Abortion Pills.
Kristi Hamrick | June 26, 2026
“Because of the failures of the Trump Administration to enforce the Comstock Act or to thoroughly review the so-called science that supports Chemical Abortion Pill policy, dangerous pathological medical waste goes into our waterways by the tons every year,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins. “In our amicus brief, we argue that the failure to protect endangered species from abortion water

Olivia D'Angelo | June 19, 2026
It’s not just pro-life activists and clean water activists demanding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) track hormone-disrupting metabolites from Chemical Abortion Pills in our water. Now, doctors and conservationists are speaking out. The EPA keeps a list of water contaminants they track and regulate for public health safety, updating the list every 5 years. The list is due to be updated this year, and the EPA just finished collecting comments from the public on what should be included. Students for Life

Chemical Abortion Pill Pushers & Abusers Win Again as the Supreme Court Allows Reckless Distribution as Louisiana’s Case Proceeds
Kristi Hamrick | May 14, 2026
“This is a mistake by the Supreme Court with life-and-death implications, a tragedy for preborn babies and their mothers nationwide. Death-by-Mail – established during the Biden Administration – has continued unchecked by the Trump team to this point. The policy harms preborn babies and their mothers, as dangerous, unregulated pills go to abusers, in unmarked packages, leading to chaos in homes across America,”

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: FDA, We Want ANSWERS on the Chemical Abortion Pill Review
Olivia D'Angelo | May 14, 2026
Last October, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins sent a letter to Trump administration officials. The letter — addressed to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, then-Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, and then-U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi — made one simple request: conduct a review of the Chemical Abortion Pill mifepristone. “During
