THINK BEFORE YOU DRINK
SOURCE GUIDE:
- Every year, 30+ tons of chemically-tainted medical waste - human tissue, placenta, and blood - are flushed into U.S. water systems due to Chemical Abortion Pills.
This number (30+ tons of chemically-tainted medical waste) comes from the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion think tank, which released a March 2024 report on Chemical Abortions within the United States. Using our latest data from 2020, the report found that 642,700 Chemical Abortions were committed nationwide during that year. As approximately two ounces of tissue are discharged during a Chemical Abortion, this comes out to 30. 8 tons of such tissue entering out sewage systems annually. - The metabolites used to end pregnancies remain active and unfiltered by water treatments, forcing Americans to ingest clinical does of Chemical Abortion over time.
To see the proof of this, read this scholarly article from the very proabortion Journal of Contraception. - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed all safety regulations for these drugs, including protections for our water, making Chemical Abortion the most accessible abortion option.
To see a summary of the FDA' s changes in safety regulations (also called REMS) over time for Chemical Abortion Pills, view this page from their official website here. - Chemical Abortion Pills are dangerous for preborn children. The two-pill cocktail first starves and then dispels unique, unrepeatable human beings to death.
To understand how Chemical Abortion Pills work to kill preborn children, see this description from the FDA here. - Chemical Abortion Pills are dangerous for women. The risks of these drugs include hemorrhaging, severe cramping, infertility, and death (even the FDA admits it). They are 4x riskier than surgical abortions.
As of 2024, close to 40 deaths have been reported in association with women using Chemical Abortion Pills, and injuries are far more numerous. To learn more, see a description of deaths and risks from the FDA here.
- Chemical Abortion Pills are dangerous for the environment. National Institute of Health (NIH) studies in other countries have demonstrated that Chemical Abortion metabolites in our waterways cause serious risk to wildlife and the environment.

"Endocrine Disruptors in Water and Their Effects on the Reproductive System," - Chemical Abortion Pills are dangerous for everyone. Our water is full of contaminants that are dangerous to our health, including endocrine disrupters and metabolites from Chemical Abortion Pills.
The metabolites used to end pregnancies remain active and unfiltered by water treatments, Americans are forced to ingest clinical does of Chemical Abortion over time. As Chemical Abortion shuts down the production of progesterone - which is necessary to sustain a pregnancy - women may experience adverse fertility affects. To see the proof of this, read this scholarly article from the very pro-abortion Journal of Contraception. - The first drug (Mifepristone) starves the preborn child, and the second drug (Misoprostol) then expels the baby's remains into the toilet. Women are often told to keep flushing without looking.
For several women's real stories of taking Chemical Abortion and how they were instructed, see this article from the Washington Post. - The metabolites (that end pregnancies) and other dangerous chemicals in Chemical Abortion (such as endocrine disruptors) still pass through water treatment, remaining basically unchanged.
To see the proof of this, read this scholarly article from the very proabortion Journal of Contraception. - Animals that drink or live in water from our wastewater systems are especially at danger for contamination. Some of these animals are endangered, including the American crocodile and sockeye salmon. Animals, especially cattle, eat grass sprayed with the contaminated water and then excrete those contaminants back into the environment.
To see the EPA confirm that pharmaceuticals and human remains can impact the fertility of fish and animals, see this link from their website. - Even bottled water will contain these metabolites and endocrine disruptors as water treatments will not remove them.
To see one of the environmental studies which prove this, check out this report from the University of Buffalo in New York. - An independent blind water test was commissioned on drinking water in various college towns across our country ... The concentration of Chemical Abortion metabolites is so potent that over time, residents of these towns will consume a clinical dose of Chemical Abortion. This has yet to be released...
- NIH studies have demonstrated that these chemicals are dangerous for our environment. However, the FDA has completely deregulated these drugs without conducting any environmental impact studies.
To read one of these studies, check out this one.

"Endocrine Disruptors in Water and Their Effects on the Reproductive System," - Chemical Abortion Pills poison our water by destroying our fertility.
The metabolites used to end pregnancies remain active and unfiltered by water treatments, Americans are forced to ingest clinical doses of Chemical Abortion over time. As Chemical Abortion shuts down the production of progesterone - which is necessary to sustain a pregnancy - women may experience adverse fertility affects. To see the proof of this, read this scholarly article from the very pro-abortion Journal of Contraception. - Chemical Abortion Pills poison our water by sabotaging our overall health.
Progesterone isn't just needed by women for maintaining their fertility. It also plays an essential role before, during, and after pregnancy for healthy, whole body function. In addition, males need progesterone, as well. It impacts their central nervous, immune, cardiovascular, and renal systems, as well. To read about how the lack of progesterone affects us all, see a report from the Cleveland Clinic here. - The FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) know that pathological medical waste - blood, placenta tissue, and human remains - flushed into our wastewater create a risk for all of us ... and yet they do nothing.
For two examples of the EPA instructing Americans to not flush pathological medical waste, see these links from their website: 1.EPA Encourages Americans Only Flush Toilet Paper. 2. Protect Local Waterways
- "9 in 10 supported requiring Red Bag Medical Waste disposal of the chemically tainted blood, placenta tissue, and human remains from abortion, with 33 % saying this was extremely important, up from 30% last year."
This statistic is sourced from a 2025 YouGov/Survey America poll commissioned by the Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement. See the full results in the survey report here. - Access Students for Life of America's Citizen's Petitions to the FDA regarding Chemical Abortion Pills.
Chemical Abortion Pills are tainting our waterways & causing harm.
WE DESERVE BETTER!
