A pro-life group is beseeching the Environmental Protection Agency to add the abortion drug mifepristone to its list of water contaminants.
According to a story by the Catholics News Agency, Students for Life of America (SFLA) is asking on the EPA to add mifepristone to a list of drinking water contaminants tracked by public utilities.
“It’s a problem only the EPA can fully investigate,” SFLA reported.
During the last sessions of Congress, legislators have called on the EPA in two letters to discover the range of the damage of abortion drug to water pollution. Several pro-life and pro-family groups banded together to ask the EPA to investigate the chemicals.
“The EPA has the regulatory authority and humane responsibility to determine the extent of abortion water pollution, caused by the reckless and negligent policies pushed by past administrations through the FDA [Food and Drug Administration],” said Kristan Hawkins, president of SFLA.
“Take the word ‘abortion’ out of it and ask, should chemically tainted blood and placenta tissue, along with human remains, be flushed by the tons into America’s waterways? And since the federal government set that up, shouldn’t we know what’s in our water?” she said.
According to the CNA story, the legislation would have permitted abortion on request before “viability” and on grounds of a fatal fetal abnormality that would likely lead to the death of the baby before birth or within a year of birth.
