Anti-abortion groups have convinced lawmakers in several states, without evidence that abortion pills are contaminating the water supply. They also have plans for lawsuits & federal legislation cutting off access. They are comparing themselves to Erin Brockovich. www.politico.com/news/2025/01... - ThreadSky

Let’s skip to the end of that movie

Sure wish the style manuals would approve the use of "effing bonkers" in lieu of "without evidence", which is clearly not meeting the moment.

Except Erin Brockovich would have supported a stronger EPA, I believe. Also, this could be a stepping stone to block all and every contraceptive molecule.

What a fucking red herring. These people don’t give a damn when companies like Exxon and Monsanto pollute the planet.

To be fair: a LOT of NEPA crap is like this, with NIMBY organizations opposing new building in their neighborhoods trying to find any excuse to gum up the process/make it too unprofitable to build to "preserve neighborhood character".

Oh of course. Big pharma has just decided to flush expensive drugs away because they're sick of making money.

“Convinced” is probably polite.

The actual conversation probably went something like this:

Lawmaker: “Give me an excuse to go after these guys that scares the shit out of the rubes.”

Forced Birth Chode: “Ok… how about this…?”

That's a laugh. What about VIAGRA?

Birth control pills will be next.

I have seen reports on high birth control pill levels in water supplies.
Wonder what else?
Any illicit drugs?
Are we getting high from our water supply?
