A shocking FDA report, released by Liberty Counsel Action (LCA) on June 17, exposes the contamination of U.S. drinking water with over 40 tons of aborted fetal remains and chemical byproducts from abortion pills. This alarming revelation raises serious concerns about public health and environmental safety, highlighting a critical failure in regulatory oversight.

The 86-page investigation traces the issue to the FDA’s 1996 approval of mifepristone, an abortifacient used with misoprostol, which was deemed environmentally harmless despite insufficient long-term studies. The report details systemic lapses by federal and state agencies, allowing these contaminants to infiltrate America’s water supply, prompting urgent calls for accountability and reform.

Naturalnews.com reports: As chemical abortions now account for the majority of U.S. terminations, researchers warn that pharmaceutical metabolites and fetal tissue are bypassing wastewater treatment plants. These toxic compounds could potentially contaminate drinking water and disrupt ecosystems.

The report cites findings from Students for Life estimating that “40+ tons of chemically-tainted medical waste” such as “human tissue, placenta and blood” have been flushed into waterways. Standard wastewater treatment facilities are unable to fully filter these organic remnants.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), secondary wastewater processing removes only about 90 percent of organic matter. This leaves microscopic fetal particles and active mifepristone metabolites to reenter the water cycle. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, a hormone critical for fertility, and its effect doesn’t end when the fetus is chemically aborted.

LCA’s investigation accused regulators of ignoring federal medical waste laws. This inaction subsequently allowed abortion providers to effectively use sewage systems as “de-facto medical waste facilities.”

Chemical abortions and water contamination: The hidden public health disaster

Historical context underscores the gravity of the findings. The FDA’s initial environmental assessment under the Clinton administration dismissed concerns, assuming minimal impact. Yet today, with chemical abortions surpassing surgical procedures, the cumulative effect remains unstudied.

The report demanded congressional hearings and EPA testing akin to protocols for “forever chemicals.” It noted that endocrine disruptors in water supplies could contribute to rising infertility rates, which now affect one in six Americans. LCA Chairman Mat Staver confirmed meetings with federal officials to address the crisis, framing it as both a moral and public health emergency.

“Our water systems are soaked with the blood and remains of the unborn,” he stated, invoking biblical calls to “defend the weak” (Psalm 82:3) and avoid the shedding of “innocent blood” (Jeremiah 22:3). The group’s findings challenge the abortion industry’s reliance on at-home pill distribution, which bypasses state bans and amplifies environmental risks.

With no comprehensive studies on mifepristone’s ecological impact and evidence of fetal tissue entering watersheds, the call for transparency grows louder.
