Mifepristone is extensively metabolized before elimination from the body. Most of the elimination of the multiple metabolites is through feces. I am an analytical chemist and if I was told to measure mifepristone in wastewater, I would say it couldn't be done properly.
...
Or I would just outright refuse. Hopefully they will run into the same kind of resistance.
An issue is that mifepristone is used for several conditions, such as Cushing's disease and endometriosis. A simple wastewater measurement won't be very helpful to the anti-choice fanatics.

Wasting so much taxpayer money on this when they could actually be doing something productive FOR the citizenry. I'm sorry, but Texans are just butt stupid.
Women can’t afford strollers or childcare. Children are dying of measles in their own state. And all they can think about is hunting down any woman who decided not to be a mom right now
Do they realize we could pee outside during the time we’re using the drug? Or use a little camping chemical toilet? Do they ever, I don’t know, think???
Because they need the cannon fodder for the factories and rare earth mines that they think they will build. Or at least more “resources” for Amazon to chew up and spit out.
I don’t buy the explanation that the bill addresses environmental concerns because Texas Republicans have never been concerned about environmental protection at any point in history.
Was the Handmaid's Tale a documentary or some kind of instruction book for MAGA conservatives, because I was under the impression that it was a work of fiction??? 🤷
That man is straight out of 1930's Germany with his views and all on women/marginalized peoples. It's amazing that a woman could marry him, but then I'm reminded that behind every SS officer stood a female, right? So I guess women aren't immune from similar bigotry and ideological zealotry...
Not surprising I guess, you'd have to be just as depraved to be around that 24/7. There's an article out about him and just how awful a human he is, according to some that worked alongside him in the past. Not surprising to some of us on the Left. We've seen people like him before, right?
I'm thinking that chamber pots (aka thunder pots) are gonna become a thing again in the not too distant future. Betcha there will be underground railways of transporting the waste to distant locales. Handmaid's Tale IRL. 🤬
I remember using them when I visited my grandparents' farm in the Midwest. They had an old 2 story farmhouse with only 1 bthrm (on the 1st floor next to their bedrm) & all the other bedrms for my uncle/aunt/cousins & guest bedrm were on the 2nd floor w a STEEP set of stairs. They used pots w lids.

Every thing about conservatism is about amassing power.
Crazy cuz I'm old enough to remember when Republicans used to crow about big gubbment and overreach.
Republicans: you can't make me wear a mask
Also Republicans: we need to mass surveil womens reproductive status

They can never be satisfied...

It’s about controlling women.
That’s it. And that’s all it’s ever going to be about.
