Host Brendan O'Connell invites Abigail Forman, Public Policy Analyst with Liberty Counsel Action (LCA), to explore the potential risks of chemical abortions on our water supply. Forman believes pressure may be required for the federal government to assess how remnants of "at-home" abortions, like organic tissues and pharmaceutical residue, impact the treatment of drinking and waste water as well as the environment. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mean to ensure access to clean water for all via efforts such as water pollution control, medical waste regulation, the Clean Water Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.
