Republican attorneys general urge EPA to classify mifepristone as water contaminant

Fourteen Republican state attorneys general and 19 GOP members of Congress are urging the EPA to regulate mifepristone as a water contaminant, citing environmental concerns. Experts and the Center for Biological Diversity state there is no evidence mifepristone harms water systems or humans, while the FDA noted in 1996 that environmental effects were 'not anticipated.'
