"The anti-abortion group Students for Life of America says the country's waterways and drinking water are contaminated with "abortion water." "People need to understand that they are likely drinking other people's abortions," Student for Life's head of policy, Kristi Hamrick, told ."
"The group is making the claim in an appeal to the Trump administration's EPA to get mifepristone - a drug used in more than two-thirds of all abortions - added to a list of drinking water contaminants tracked by public utilities."
"Betsy Southerland, a former career scientist in EPA's Office of Water in the first Trump administration, called the idea of adding mifepristone to the EPA's list "outrageous". "We have such a huge queue of emerging contaminants that we know are toxic, and we know are in our drinking water and in our fisheries," she said. "You would be replacing a known toxic chemical for a hypothetical one.""
""Do you really need a test to determine that it's a bad idea to flush placenta, tissue, blood and human remains into our waterways?" she asked."
Students for Life of America asserts that U.S. waterways and drinking water are contaminated with 'abortion water' and urges the EPA to add mifepristone to the list of drinking-water contaminants tracked by public utilities. Mifepristone is used in more than two-thirds of all abortions. The group seeks to align with Robert F. Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again initiative and views certain federal officials as potentially receptive. A former EPA scientist called adding mifepristone "outrageous" and experts say trace amounts in flushed fetal tissue are unlikely to reach waterways. Students for Life reports private testing but has not published peer-reviewed results.
