The Trump Admin Wants To Test Drinking Water For Abortion And Birth Control Pills

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.) is demanding answers from the Environmental Protection Agency following an extreme move that could hinder access to abortion and birth control pills.

The Trump administration’s EPA recommended earlier this month that states begin testing drinking water for certain forms of abortion pills and contraceptives — a worrisome move that comes after a yearslong pressure campaign from anti-abortion organizations weaponizing environmental regulations to further undermine access to care.

“While you claim these benchmarks are merely to ‘empower local decision makers,’ your own statements suggest a darker reality: this is laying the groundwork for sweeping state and federal restrictions on reproductive health care,” Wyden wrote in the Monday letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

“While it is critical that the federal government work to monitor and assess the risk of pharmaceuticals in drinking water,” he continued, “the inclusion of these reproductive health medications is clearly a coordinated, politically motivated attempt to restrict women’s freedom under the guise of ‘drinking water safety.’”

7. What about lead, PFAFs, rocket fuel, microplastics?

9. It's not actually about toxins. It's about toxic laws to control the bodies of others.

And don't think the imposed power will stop at controlling fertile females.

If they decide to control one group, no other group is safe.

8. Why don't they test for cocaine?

Oh wait, Don, Jr. Never mind.

13. Check the White House waste water.

Let's see what drugs Hair Furor is shoving down his gaping maw. Adderall (copious amounts) for staying awake 20 hrs. each day, Kisunla for his dementia (all of his visible oddities point to its use) and a host of other drugs to keep that miserable cur alive.

He supposedly works for us, so we have a right to know.
