The Christian, pro-life organization Liberty Counsel Action has distributed a report that raises the disturbing question of whether U.S. water systems contain traces of drugs used in chemical abortions as well as human tissue from terminated fetuses.
Here’s the issue as I understand it. After surgical abortions, the remains are incinerated. But, as of 2023, some 63 percent of abortions have occurred at home (chemical abortions), with the result that hundreds of thousands of deceased fetuses have been flushed down the toilet over the years. Moreover, the active chemicals in abortion pills also enter our sewage systems.
Our water treatment plants are not equipped to properly process human tissue nor necessarily to remove metabolized mifepristone (metabolites) used in the abortion pills — meaning that the compound could end up in our tap supply. From, “Abortion in Our Water: A Special Report” (the quotes are from the EPA’s “Primer for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Systems”):
After being excreted (prior to entering the environment), pharmaceutical contaminants become part of wastewater. In household water then enters Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW, also referred to as wastewater treatment plants). However, traditional wastewater treatment facilities “are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals” (emphasis added). Indeed, while some wastewater treatment facilities “may remove some pharmaceuticals incidentally,” many others “pass through and enter the environment.”
This has become a major environmental concern, as there is a wide range of evidence demonstrating that the pharmaceutical contaminants entering our water supply via wastewater effluent are adversely affecting various forms of wildlife… Related, wastewater treatment plants are not intended to process fetal remains (medical waste facilities exist for this purpose), though they end up serving in this capacity as fetal remains from chemical abortions are often flushed into the sewer system.
The report indicates that environmental regulations do not require that all organic matter be removed by water treatment processes. “By implication, approximately 10 percent of the organic matter in wastewater, which may include fetal biomass, . . . is not removed (consider, for example, microscopic fragments of skin or other organic fetal remains).”
Among many other proposals, the report suggests the following steps, which seem commonsensical to me:
Is this much ado about very little, or a potential source of harm? I have no idea. But if microplastic contamination is deemed a worthy issue for environmental investigation, it seems to me that this issue is too. As the study indicates, over the years, tons of human fetal remains — and an untold amount of mifepristone metabolites — have been discarded into our sewage systems, with some of that waste, perhaps, entering our water sources.
As one would expect, the report discusses the moral and ethical issues of chemical abortions at length from a pro-life perspective, but I won’t get into that here. Regardless of one’s views on abortion, the question of whether current abortion pill practices can result in water contamination is an issue well worth a dispassionate investigation.

Thankfully I live in the country in heavy forest and my water comes from a 500’ deep well where it has been for thousands of years and is unaffected by the water table or rain.
Incredibly pure and delicious.
Nice humble brag.
Ok and the parts per million is.
better not eat anything either to be on the safe side. Eyeroll.
I’d be more worried about what’s in bottled waters.
I used to work in the research library of a chemical company and liked to read the scientific journals. There are all kinds of bad stuff in water. The ones that stick out are birth control pills and other pharmaceuticals that do nasty things to aquatic life, and may affect humans. None of the articles covered the topic of this article though, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this article is true.
Get yourself a Britta or Zero Water and you’ll be fine.
“Dilution is the solution to pollution”
In other words, I wouldn’t worry about out it.
Unless you think it’s being done on purpose by some shadow government to sterilize us - in which case - go ahead and worry about it.
I doubt that’s what’s happening, but it’s a legitimate concern, since I wouldn’t put anything past “them”, whoever they are.
Our well is 285’ — great water!
WAIT—THERE IS MORE...
HAD A LOCAL FIGHT OVER PRIVATE WELLS bout 10 years ago.
ONE HOMEOWNER DID SOME RESEARCH:
HOW MUCH RESIDUE FROM A DRUG USING PERSON PASSES THRU THEIR BODY & GETS DEPOSITED INTO THE SEWER SYSTEM AND THEN “PROCESSED” BY THE “WATER TREATMENT PLANT”???
THE ANSWER==== ABOUT 50%.
THERE ARE NO FILTERS OR TREATMENTS AVAILABLE THAT CAN REDUCE THAT RESIDUE. IT KEEPS GETTING RECYCLED-—
I HAVE HORSES & I HAD A NIGHTMARE THOUGHT THAT IF ANY DRUG RESIDUE WERE TO GET INTO THEIR WATER-—I COULD HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON MY HANDS.
WE MANAGED TO KEEP OUR PRIVATE WELLS, BUT IT WAS A HARD FIGHT
My theory is that the birth control and other sexuality modifying chemicals over the past 50+ years have completely polluted our water systems, causing radical feminization of males and masculinization of females. Men these days have much higher voices than they did 2 generations ago, and that is not caused by social factors.
with very few exceptions, tap water in the U.S. is nasty stuff, often no more than sewage that’s been recycled multiple times as cities along slow moving rivers repeatedly intake upsteam and discharge downstream ... even water obtained directly from the Rocky Mountains is often polluted with chemicals from runoff discharge from flood-irrigated fields before it reaches potable water filtration plants ... and speaking of filtration plants, they inject copious amounts of chemicals to induce flocculation, adjust pH, and sterilize ...
best to utilize a six or seven stage, home undersink reverse osmosis to purify tap water before consumption ...
indeed, he never drinks the stuff ...
Ditto.
But, do you have family or friends that you visit, or, otherwise have to travel to places that are on city water?
RO and one other filtration product are the only means I’ve found that remove pharmaceuticals, other chemicals, and solids.
We filter all our tap water through a Big Berkey water filter.
Is your well flowing, or do you have to pump?
They’ve known this since at least the 60s. When you consider the amount of pharmaceuticals consumed and excreted into the system, it’s pretty horrifying. I knew this before nursing school in 1980 before my instructors pointed it out. Statins, GLP-1 inhibitors, SSRIs, anti-hypertensives, chemotherapeutics...the list goes on and on.
