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 classify mifepristone, an abortion medication, as a water contaminant. Environmental experts and the Center for Biological Diversity state there is no evidence of harm from mifepristone in water systems, citing a 1996 FDA statement and common drug trace amounts in water.
