WASHINGTON D.C. (09-24-2026) – Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins announced that its attorneys at First & Fourteenth have filed a notice of intent to sue the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for failures to follow the “Endangered Species Act” (ESA) to address harm from a progesterone blocker to more than 1,500 protected creatures in all 50 states. Hawkins noted: “In 2000 at the beginning of the Clinton Administration, chemical abortion pills were forced on the U.S. market, with all kinds of promises made, promises broken by abortion promoters — all with the FDA’s rubber stamp, signing off on abortion profiteers’ claims about how ‘safe’ the deadly pills would be. Twenty-six years later, we know better.”

She continued: During the Obama and then Biden Administrations, the FDA relaxed their rigorous approval standard to speed the 2-pill abortion regime through the approval process — despite the fact that women also sometimes died and that healthcare workers’ conscience rights were violated as they attempted to save their patients. But just as mifepristone and mifepristone equivalents have been found in the water in Europe, a new study confirms their detection in U.S. water supplies. Studies worldwide have shown that aquatic and animal life can be impacted. You don’t have to be pro-life to want clean drinking water. ...”

First & Fourteenth partner Lincoln Wilson explained that “the Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to consult with fish and wildlife services before taking any action that may affect a listed or threatened species. And the scientific literature shows that mifepristone in water has adverse effects on wildlife, but the FDA never consulted on the matter. That means FDA’s actions for mifepristone, including approving abortion by mail, are void.”

Using the left's tactics.

The Notice of Intent to Sue starts a 60-day clock. If the FDA does not act, the lawsuit may proceed.

Bah.... no standing.... now go away.

Good luck to SFL ... the FDA is a wicked nut to crack.

It’s time for the American taxpayers to start suing the sick little uneducated maggots. We need our money back.

It’s quite creative to add failure to follow ‘The Endangered Species Act’ as a “hook” to their legal efforts. But, as others have noted above, it’s a tough row to hoe.

I wish them luck and perseverance.

I thought the Clean Water Act specified that only the government had standing to sue.

Good move. If “forever chemicals” those which are by definition unreactive (although a few are mimetics to normal biochemicals and have bad effects) are a big worry, pumping all these sex hormones in the water and sewage-based fertilizer must be an even bigger worry.

Too much estrogen in our broccoli? Too many abortifacients in our carrots?

We might need to test California produce more carefully.
