Warning – the lethal environmental dangers of chemical abortion

In an historic vote, MPs in England voted this week for the total decriminalisation of abortion.  In 2022, 61% of abortions in England and Wales were via pills by post, with medical abortions overall (i.e. including those that took place under supervision in an abortion facility) accounting for a staggering 86% of the total number of abortions. Despite the ten-week cut off point for at-home abortions, there have been many cases of women taking the pills without supervision long after that ten-week limit.  For instance, mother of three Carla Foster, aged 44, was gaoled in 2023 after deliberately giving false information about her pregnancy over the phone, resulting in the at-home abortion of her 32 week baby. It is this kind of case, following the vote, that will no longer be subject to legal penalty.

Since 2022, the ease with which abortion pills can be obtained by post has led to a 17% increase in at-home abortion, with doctors estimating that in 2025 the percentage of chemical abortions will account for well over 90% of the total number of all terminations.

In light of these figures, one can perhaps understand why some MPs have now opted in favour of total decriminalisation – after all, if women are going to do it anyway, who are they to deny a woman’s right to choose? The unholy triumph of pragmatism, perhaps, over principle.

However, there are unforeseen dangers attached to this approach.  Women may claim the right to choose what happens to their bodies, but the hard truth is that all decisions carry consequences – some of which are not good, and that extend far beyond the immediate outcome.  Abortion is a case in point.

Activists claim abortion is a woman’s human right, but new research from the US reveals growing alarm at the unprecedented level of abortion pill chemicals and human remains now entering the general water supply, with potentially disastrous effects on human health and fertility for everybody. 

A special report published by Liberty Report Counsel Action, entitled Abortion in Our Water, A Special Report: Chemical Home Abortions & the Disposition of Aborted Fetal Remains, estimates that 30-40 tons of hazardous waste, including the abortion drug Mifepristone and human foetal remains, are being flushed daily into the water system, causing incalculable damage both to the environment and to public health.

The chemical by–products of Mifepristone, the Report emphasises, act as endocrine disruptors (chemicals that interfere with the body’s hormonal system) which are not removed by conventional wastewater treatment, and are therefore entering into general drinking water supplies, causing an unfolding environmental and public health crisis, which must be urgently addressed.  To put this in layman’s language, the report shows that the general public are daily ingesting residue from lethal abortion drugs, the full consequences of which are currently unknown, but that are potentially devastating.  They are calling for urgent investigation.

In decriminalising abortion and sanctioning the unregulated use of these powerful drugs designed to kill the unborn, we are creating a biohazard crisis, which could potentially put at risk human fertility and the general health of all.

Americans are taking steps to deal with this hazard, calling for stricter regulation of Mifepristone, and for new regulations that will treat “at-home” chemical abortions with the same environmental scrutiny as hospital-based procedures.  It is urgent that we take similar measures in the UK, before it becomes too late.

In England and Wales, final abortion figures for 2024 are not yet available, but it is likely that the number will exceed 300,000.  90% of those terminations will have been as result of the mother taking Mifepristone, with by far the greater number taking place at home without any kind of regulation or oversight.  Inevitably, this means that the chemicals from the pills, along with the aborted foetal remains, will have been flushed down the lavatory, from where they will have found their way into the general water supply.

Mifepristone is an extremely powerful drug.  It is urgent that we have proper investigation into its use.

Please sign our new petition to the Department of Health and Social Care calling for urgent investigation into the unprecedented level of abortion pill chemicals and human remains currently entering our water supply.  Demand that there be full investigation of the impact on the environment of abortion pill metabolites and related by-products (i.e. human remains) entering our water systems, and the possible effects this will have on human health and fertility.

For the health and well-being of society, it is urgent that the vote to decriminalise abortion should be reversed, or at the very least suspended, pending the outcome of any such review.

Stop unrestricted and dangerous discharge of the abortion drug Mifepristone into the nation’s water supply

The Assisted Dying Bill

The final vote is now scheduled for Friday, 20th June.  It will determine whether assisted dying is a step closer to becoming law, or whether it will be thrown out entirely.  How will MPs vote?

If passed, who will be safe in this brave new world that prioritises so-called choice over protection of the elderly, disabled, and vulnerable?

 Still time to contact your MP and let him or her know your concerns … and pray that life will triumph over death
