Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · An OBGYN On What The Abortion Pill Actually Does To Your Body | Dr. Christina Francis, MD · 20 Feb 2026 podcast

And, you know, I think that's a problem, too.

Do wastewater treatment plants filter out abortion pill compounds?

I can't imagine that they are.

I mean, we know that this is a problem with many drugs that metabolites end up in our water supply.

You know, a lot of hormonal-based drugs, things like that, there are elevated hormone levels in our water.

That's happening as well.

You know, we get metabolites of the abortion drug that are likely ending up in wastewater as well as human tissue.

And again, I think we should point out that

If the abortion industry truly was providing legitimate healthcare, if they were functioning as an actual healthcare provider, then they would have to abide by the same standards as other medical facilities.

When I'm in the operating room, if I have a towel or a sponge that we're using during a surgery that gets even a little bit of blood on it, it has to be disposed of as biohazard waste in a special red bag and disposed of in a very particular way to limit the exposure of

infectious agents, things like that to anyone.

That's the way that actual medical facilities handle this.

That is not what's happening, even honestly, with surgical abortions.

I mean, there's many documented cases of abortion facilities across the country who don't handle their biomedical waste in the appropriate way.

But then, of course, now that we have turned women's homes, their dorm rooms, hotel rooms into abortion facilities, that's increasing this problem even more.

More research should be done into this because, I mean, there's a reason why we don't put biomedical waste into our water systems and into our normal trash disposal systems.

And that's because of the potential exposure to infectious agents, you know, things like bacteria, things like HIV or other communicable diseases.

So there's that whole consideration.

But then, you know, again, I think it's a legitimate question to be asking with the

easy availability of this drug and with the fact that likely somewhere between 70 and 80 percent of abortions in this country are now being done via these drugs, that's a lot of that drug then also potentially being in our waste system.
