Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses the House's opposition to using water system monitoring and regulation to surveil or restrict access to medication abortion, particularly the drug mifepristone. The measure argues that recent state and federal efforts to monitor water systems for traces of abortion medications lack scientific basis and represent a misuse of environmental protection laws for political purposes. According to the resolution, the Food and Drug Administration has found that mifepristone poses no environmental concern and is safe and effective. The resolution calls for water system protections to be based on science rather than on efforts to restrict reproductive health care, and states that over 60 bills restricting medication abortion access have been introduced across 22 states in 2026. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the sense of Congress rather than legislation that would change law or provide funding.
