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 administrations 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 womens freedom under the guise of drinking water safety.

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