BREAKING NEWS: New White Paper: Abortion Pill Chemicals and Human Remains Entering the Water Supply

Jun 17, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A research paper released this week is raising an urgent national alarm over the environmental consequences of chemical abortions. The special report, published by Liberty Counsel Action, documents how an estimated 30-40 tons of hazardous medical waste, including human remains, are being flushed into the water systems.

The white paper, entitled “Abortion in Our Water, A Special Report: Chemical Home Abortions & the Disposition of Aborted Fetal Remains,” provides a comprehensive analysis regarding the environmental impact of the abortion pill (Mifepristone) and human fetal remains entering our water systems. Drawing from various studies and peer-reviewed research, petitions to the EPA, government documents, interviews with water treatment experts, and proprietary modeling, the report estimates that approximately 700,000 chemical abortions occur per year. A few of the key points include:

• The likely introduction of the chemical byproducts of Mifepristone, which act as endocrine disruptors and are not removed by conventional wastewater treatment, into our drinking water supplies.
• The presence of human fetal tissue biomarkers in drinking water sources.
• A significant gap in federal environmental regulations concerning medical waste disposal from at-home abortions.
• The complete absence of environmental impact studies before the drug Mifepristone was approved by the FDA.
• The violation of several state and federal laws by the EPA and FDA, including the Clean Water Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.

“This is an unfolding environmental and public health crisis,” said President of Liberty Counsel Action John Stemberger. “The same water that Americans use to drink, cook, and bathe in may contain residuals from powerful, lethal abortion drugs. No one voted for this, and if folks were aware, there would be public outcry. We are all living with these consequences. The EPA instructs Americans not to flush baby wipes, tampons, or goldfish, and yet it allows abortion providers to use wastewater treatment facilities as medical waste facilities and biohazard centers – flushing human fetal tissues that include newly formed organs, placenta, and bone fragments.”

The 86-page paper contains an executive summary and is documented with 335 footnotes. Its primary author is Abigail Forman, a former legislator from Minnesota who serves as a researcher and policy analyst with Liberty Counsel Action, an organization chaired by Constitutional law attorney Mat Staver.

President Trump has called for “crystal-clean water” since day one of his first administration and mentioned this goal multiple times on the campaign trail. More recently, in April 2025, his administration announced it is “leveraging environmental policies” in such a way as to maintain “the standards that have afforded Americans the cleanest air and water in the world for generations.” Liberty Counsel Action is now calling upon President Trump to act on this promise.

The report also calls on Congress and federal agencies to immediately investigate the oversight failures related to the original and subsequent approvals of Mifepristone and propose new regulations that treat “at-home” chemical abortions with the same environmental scrutiny as hospital-based procedures.

......What’s In Your Water?​

MAHA – Make America Healthy Again is a great goal, but look what has to be cleaned up! How bad is the water when a US congressman has to introduce a bill to keep aborted fetal remains out of public water systems!

In a move that is stirring both fierce support and controversy, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) has introduced legislation aimed at preventing what he calls the “disgusting and abhorrent” disposal of aborted fetal remains into America’s public water systems. The Respectful Treatment of Unborn Remains Act, if passed, would criminalize this disposal practice nationwide, making it punishable by fines and up to five years in prison.

The bill comes on the heels of a report from Liberty Counsel Action, a conservative advocacy group, alleging that the abortion industry has been systematically releasing fetal remains, along with the byproducts of chemical abortion pills, into municipal wastewater. According to their findings, as much as 40 tons of such material may have entered America’s water supply over the years, raising concerns about public health and environmental impact.

“Every life is precious and has value, from the moment of conception until natural death,” Gill said in a statement. “Not only does abortion rob an unborn baby of their life, but abortionists further rob them of a dignified burial by carelessly discarding their remains into public water systems.”

Gill described the practice as both a moral outrage and a serious public health threat, suggesting that fetal tissue and chemical abortion residues could contaminate drinking water and possibly contribute to infertility or emerging diseases.

What concerns me is not the drugs.
Fetal remains are going into the water system.

[Ghoti Ichthus]

What concerns me is not the drugs.
Fetal remains are going into the water system.

so are the drugs and metabolites


Both are bad in the water supply, but human flesh is worse than drugs. Yet another reason to filter and purify . . .
So much for any assurance of public water supplies being potable
I wonder what would happen if I asked about fetal tissue in the local water supply at the next Town Hall meeting?

What they're doing with fetal remains is evil

Actually, the correct term is dead baby parts

[1LoverofGod]

Hazardous chemicals have been in the water systems for decades
Who knows what has been flushed down toilets.
In California sewage water is recycled into the drinking water system with more chemicals through "filters" .
California is known for having "forever chemicals" in the drinking water system.
They are called forever chemicals because those chemicals cannot be completely removed from the water that goes through the filtration system
It is long over due that the EPA enforces strict measures to make drinking water safe.

 

[mattfivefour]

This is the reason Andrea and I do not drink tap water, or even purified water. We only drink bottled actual spring water.

 

[1LoverofGod]

This is the reason Andrea and I do not drink tap water, or even purified water. We only drink bottled actual spring water.

Same here.
I Haven't drank tap water for over 7 years. Spring water is all I drink myself

 

[Andiamo]

We have 5 stage reverse osmosis and have for years. Gosh this is horrifying.

 

[Ghoti Ichthus]

Guess I'm going to contact Pur and find out if the faucet filter I'm using filters out the abortion drugs.
Ditto Clearly Filtered.

FWIW, dead baby parts aren't the only human cells and pieces that get disposed of down the toilet and end up going through sewage treatment and then water intake and treatment for drinking, etc. Although the whole thing is horrific, the reality is that I'm stuck with filtering tap water that's supposedly potable. If everything's working correctly, at least the disease-causing organisms are dead. Given the water I've consumed outside the United States and evidently survived, I'm actually a lot more concerned about the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and plastics.

I just checked the 2024 drinking water report for where my tap water comes from, and it's from wells on named aquifers, so not recycled sewage. Yay! Unfortunately, there are forever chemicals

 

[Andiamo]

That’s the thing. My mom buys spring water but it’s in plastic bottles. Micro plastics are so bad.
I know the 5 stage reverse osmosis is pretty good. It even removes fluoride. But it’s not exactly easy to hook up and not a real option for those who rent. As far as I know my water comes from the Florida Aquifer but that’s getting polluted too with lawn chemicals. Ugh.

Around here, you can buy RO filtered water by the gallon in several stores. There are also glass bottles that can be used. I can't afford a filter or to buy filtered water for every consumable use, but at least our drinking water should be in the clear.

The Pur Plus filters I use are good for about 100 gallons. Three filters in a package that I get for about $30 with military discount at HD
So about 10 cents a gallon. The filter remineralizes the water.

I bought 1/2 gallon glass jugs at the coop and fill those with filtered tap water. They fit in the fridge door and are small enough to be easy to pour from. The smallest glass bottles WF sells are gallon, which are too big for me to handle easily.

Clearly Filtered filters are also good for about 100 gallons, but a 3-pack is a LOT more expensive. Lab testing for these filters indicate 95-99.5 percent removal of various forever chemicals, 99.99 percent removal of microplastics, etc. I've considered putting filtered tap water through these in a pitcher, hoping that treating the Pur faucet filter as a pre-filter would help extend the life of the far more expensive CF filters. The big issue I have is that the CF pitcher is PLASTIC I suppose I could just pour from the CF pitcher into the glass bottles, or buy a regular glass pitcher for the refrigerator, but what a pain the whole thing, especially since the CF filter is very slow and I try to filter a week's worth at a time. That reduces the amount of water that goes down the drain prior to filtering, and reduces the water that is only being used to wet and flush the filter. It makes a very noticeable difference in how long a filter lasts, as indicated by the light on the filtration unit.

The R-O water at WF is 49 cents a gallon. If I get that, I remineralize before using. I don't buy R-O water at the co-op because the machine is in-store and it's very close to an abortion facility, and even before reading the OP, I haven't trusted the water there.

If this is the case, then I wonder why some of the standards for forever chemicals in the water supply are being relaxed or eliminated?

EPA announces rollback for some Biden-era limits on ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water​

By MICHAEL PHILLIS
Updated 11:33 AM CDT, May 14, 2025

"The Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that it plans to weaken limits on some “forever chemicals” in drinking water that were finalized last year, while maintaining standards for two common ones.

The Biden administration set the first federal drinking water limits for PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, finding they increased the risk of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and babies being born with low birth weight. Those limits on PFAS, which are human-made and don’t easily break down in nature, were expected to reduce their levels for millions of people.

Limits on three types of PFAS, including what are known as GenX substances found in North Carolina, will be scrapped and reconsidered by the agency, as will a limit on a mixture of several types of PFAS.

The Biden administration’s rule also set standards for the two common types of PFAS, referred to as PFOA and PFOS, at 4 parts per trillion, effectively the lowest level at which they can be reliably detected. The EPA will keep those standards, but give utilities two extra years — until 2031 — to comply.


“We are on a path to uphold the agency’s nationwide standards to protect Americans from PFOA and PFOS in their water. At the same time, we will work to provide common-sense flexibility in the form of additional time for compliance,” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin."

EPA Will Keep Current Limits for “Forever Chemicals” in Drinking Water​

By Stuart Kaplow on May 25, 2025

"On May 14, 2025, Lee Zeldin, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, announced the agency will retain its current National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for two of the most studied per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). With this announcement, the agency provided a roadmap as to its intention to continue protecting public health from these so called “forever chemicals” while introducing new regulatory flexibility aimed at the compliance burden for drinking water systems, particularly small and rural water systems.

While some have mischaracterized this as a roll back from what the Biden Administration had announced, most in the environmental industrial complex have commended the agency for balancing science based health protections with regulatory pragmatism. The EPA’s decision reflects a reprioritized agency commitment to safeguarding drinking water, honoring the rule of law, and targeting the actual sources of PFAS contamination (.. a dramatically different approach to the environment than the prior Administration)."

EPA Press Office (press@epa.gov)

"WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites public input on implementation challenges associated with Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401. The agency will use input received to determine next steps to address identified areas of regulatory uncertainty or implementation challenges regarding the scope of certification.

“Central to the Powering the Great American Comeback is rejecting the false, binary choice between environmental protection and economic and energy development. It is critical that EPA meets its statutory requirements without weaponizing them against beneficial infrastructure projects,” said Senior Advisor for Water Jessica Kramer. “It is our responsibility to guarantee Clean Water Act Section 401 is only being used for its statutory purpose – to ensure permitted projects protect water quality while delivering real prosperity for all Americans.”

Once the notice is published in the Federal Register, the public will have 30 days to provide input on implementation challenges and regulatory uncertainty related to the 2023 rule. EPA will host two virtual listening sessions for the public. Information on the Federal Register notice, listening session dates, times, and registration instructions, and how to provide written input will be made available at a later date on EPA’s CWA-401 website."

When I was at WF today, I stopped and looked at the bulk water dispenser.

R-O is up a dime to 59 cents a gallon.
R-O alkaline (remineralized) is $1.29 a gallon.

There's deionized and distilled, too.

What's difference between alkaline and remineralized? I see both kinds separately in bottles, but I've never seen them together like I did on the sign at WF today.

[Tall Timbers]

I had good water in my rural Alaska home. I've no idea what's in our city water where I'm living now. Guess I just have to trust the folks managing the water supply for my town. The municipality has started charging a new separate tax on property owners for storm runoff. They estimate the sq footage of the developed portion of your property (buildings, concrete asphalt covered areas) and then decide how much you owe. You'd think they wouldn't need a new/separate tax for such a thing... we already pay through the nose for water and that charge includes the municipal cost for managing drainage and everything else that has to do with water.
