Disturbing Amounts of Aborted Fetal Remains Contaminating America’s Tap Water
The abortion pill, mifepristone, is potentially contaminating America’s tap water, the Daily Citizen recently reported. Now, recent data adds a disturbing new layer to this alarming issue.
A 2025 report from Liberty Counsel Action (LCA) estimates between 30 and 40 tons of aborted fetal remains – including human tissue, placenta, blood and chemical byproducts – are flushed into America’s wastewater each year.
For reference, this is equivalent to the weight of a fully loaded semi-truck.
In a Vigilant Fox broadcast, Abigail Forman, one of the report’s authors, commented:
Nearly 700,000 times a year in the U.S., women take abortion pills, flushing the resulting remains down toilets and into our public water systems.
Aborted fetuses, some up to two inches long, are being flushed down toilets, clogging pipes and traumatizing wastewater workers who find them trapped in treatment screens.
Employees of wastewater facilities should not be encountering such graphic remains, nor are these treatment centers equipped process human blood and tissues correctly. The LCA report notes:
Abortion providers issuing chemical abortion pills have been able to use wastewater treatment plants as their de-facto medical waste facilities for decades.
While a few states separately impose burial or cremation requirements for aborted children, “most states do not specifically regulate” aborted fetal remains disposal.
Due to treatment centers’ inability to properly sanitize water contaminated by this hazardous waste, Forman added that dangerous byproducts from both aborted babies and the mifepristone drug are likely present in all forms of our tap water.
Americans across the country are using this harmful water, polluted by death and chemicals, for bathing, drinking, cooking and cleaning on a daily basis.
This issue not only jeopardizes the American people’s health and correlates with rising infertility rates, but the flushing of fetal remains into our sewer system is utterly disrespectful towards the countless babies who have been denied their right to life. The LCA report states,
Liberty Counsel Action agrees that not only is further study needed, so also is dignified disposition of human remains.
Addressing this issue should unite all Americans.
Clean drinking water and human dignity should not be controversial.
Thankfully, several have stepped up to investigate this problem. As previously reported, Senator James Lankford and Congressman Josh Brecheen have urged the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate “the potential contaminant effects” of mifepristone in America’s tap water.
More recently, however, Representative Brandon Gill and Senator Jim Banks have introduced “The Respectful Treatment of Unborn Remains Act.” According to a June 25 press release, the act would aim to:
Bar abortionists from disposing of aborted fetal remains in publicly owned water systems, including but not limited to federal, state, and locally controlled drains and pipes.
This legislation would restore dignity to the deceased unborn child and prevent health risks posed by medical waste contamination in public water reserves.
If passed, abortion providers found violating the law would face a fine and up to five years in prison. Notably, these penalties would not apply to the woman receiving the abortion.
Concerning the act, Congressman Gill commented to the Daily Wire,
Not only does abortion rob an unborn baby of their life, but abortionists further rob them of a dignified burial by carelessly discarding their fetal remains into public water systems — a disgusting and abhorrent practice.
This careless discard of human body parts signifies the depraved disregard for the sanctity of life at abortion clinics.
Beyond the moral outrage, introducing fetal remains into public water systems also poses a serious public health concern, potentially contaminating water sources.
I am proud to introduce a bill that restores some dignity after death, as part of the greater fight to protect all life from the evil of abortion.
While the EPA has not commented on this issue, the new bill has received support from several pro-life groups, including Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Priests for Life and Students for Life Action. Additionally, several House Representatives have cosponsored the bill.
As the LCA stated in their report, the issue of water sanitation and the dignity of human life should not be controversial.
The American people deserve better than contaminated tap water.
Women deserve better than the abortion pill.
And preborn babies robbed of their right to life deserve better than being flushed down the toilet.
