Bicameral lawmakers are criticizing the Biden administration for failing to adequately study the environmental impact of the abortion pill, mifepristone. In a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) expressed concerns about the drug’s potential effects on waterways and drinking water. They noted that the only environmental assessment of mifepristone was conducted in 1996 and did not consider the impact of human fetal remains and the drug’s metabolites on wastewater systems. The lawmakers also raised concerns about the lack of information on the potential health effects of mifepristone and fetal remains on humans and aquatic animals. The EPA stated that it will review the letter and respond appropriately.
