BREAKING NEWS: Inside the White House

Jan 22, 2026

Breaking news from our staff at the White House

Just minutes ago, the administration announced a complete ban on tax dollars funding experiments on fetal tissue. This is a major victory for life! In addition, the State Department is now expanding the “Mexico City Policy” to not just block tax dollars funding abortion internationally but also to end funding for gender-transition procedures. Finally, it is evaluating the abortion pill and the science on the impact it has — all on the eve of the March for Life in Washington, D.C.

Our team needs your help in this critical moment to keep the pressure on our leaders to expose the whole truth about the abortion pill. Long-lasting abortion drugs and aborted human remains are entering water treatment systems that were never designed to handle either.

Just days ago, the U.S. Senate held a hearing about the abortion pill being 11 TIMES more dangerous than the initial studies claimed, exposing the dangers of mifepristone. Liberty Counsel Action submitted detailed testimony laying out the medical, environmental, and legal failures surrounding the abortion pill and human remains entering our water.

Our testimony exposed not just a health scandal but also a national safety crisis. Then, we were invited to today’s White House briefing. America’s leaders need the courage and conviction to act. Fax Congress, the FDA, and the EPA to demand an investigation and immediate action to stop this national health crisis.

Here’s what lawmakers are finally being forced to confront.

According to the Clean Water Act, mifepristone and its active metabolites qualify as pollutants (“chemical wastes”) that are discharged into wastewater systems and likely to enter our drinking water supply. Conventional wastewater treatment plants do not fully remove these types of contaminants.

Under this Act, fetal remains from chemical abortions also qualify as pollutants (“biological materials”) that are discharged into our water systems, threatening environmental safety. Aborted fetal remains do not break down like sewage.

Mifepristone — the abortion pill — was approved in 2000 without the necessary environmental review. Since then, safety protocols have been stripped away, culminating in mail-order abortions with no in-person doctor visit, no ultrasound, no screening, and no follow-up.

Women are told the experience will be “like a heavy period,” only to endure unbearable pain and, in many cases, to see a fully formed baby floating in their toilet.

We are invited to a White House briefing today on pro-life matters, and we want to move these important concerns to the forefront. We have also met with the EPA, the FDA, and other legislators.

Action by Congress can stop these deadly practices. Every day that passes, more of these long-lasting drugs are being flushed into our water supply. Send urgent faxes to Congress now and demand they act — before more women are harmed and more contamination is ignored.

Even more disturbing, this abortion pill is now routinely used in forced abortions.

There are two forms of forced abortion. The first is brutal and obvious: abusive partners and human traffickers slipping abortion pills into food or drink or coercing vulnerable women to take them.

The second is quieter — and potentially more far-reaching. After ingestion, mifepristone is metabolized into active compounds that are excreted into our wastewater. Conventional treatment plants are not designed to remove these pharmaceutical residues. Independent studies have already detected mifepristone in water systems abroad. In an era of declining fertility, Americans must ask a chilling question: Are we allowing a fertility-blocking drug to enter our water supply at levels no one has even bothered to study?

Tomorrow, some of our team will participate in the annual March for Life. We will be on the main stage. We will march, carry signs, and hand out Her Story, a powerful new book we authored and published.

If you cannot be there in person, you can still stand with us.

Your gift fuels our work on Capitol Hill, strengthens our advocacy, and ensures this truth cannot be buried. This is a defining moment — and we need you with us.

Please rush a donation to Liberty Counsel Action today.
