The report noted that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) itself explains that standard wastewater treatment facilities "are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals." LC Action added that "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.

(Washington, DC) — [LifeSiteNews.com] Republican US Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois introduced legislation Thursday to crack down on unsupervised chemical abortions and the potentially hazardous dumping of abortion-inducing chemicals and their victims in public water supplies. (Image: Pexels)

The Clean Water for All Life Act would prohibit administering abortion pills without "physically examining the patient"; "being physically present at the location of the chemical abortion"; or "providing a catch kit and red bag medical waste, including instructions for the patient to bring such kit and bag to the healthcare provider for proper disposal." Violators would face up to five years in prison and/or up to $50,000 in fines.

"The murder-for-profit abortion industry has completely ignored the dangerous and unethical disposal of pre-born baby remains and toxic chemical waste produced by abortion pills," Miller declared in a press release. "I introduced the Clean Water for All Life Act to put an end to their reckless and inhumane practices."

"These do-it-yourself, at-home, chemical abortion pills are allowing women to expel the baby into the toilet, and it's going into our wastewater," the congresswoman added in an interview with the Family Research Council's Washington Watch. "So my bill is going to put an end to this reckless practice that harms women, degrades human dignity, and contaminates our environment. It's so bad."

"I think the biggest thing is that we cannot allow the chemical abortion pills to be mailed out willy-nilly. That's what's been happening," she continued. "Thirteen-year-olds can get them, and if they have a cell phone, they can access the ability to order them and to get them and never have a physical exam (...) These girls and women may not even know how far along they are. And it's one in 10 girls and women (who) take these pills have to get some kind of medical care afterward, either (they) end up in the emergency room or some kind of medical attention."...
