## Summary

**Protect medication abortion from being used as a pretext for water surveillance.** This resolution would say monitoring and regulation of water systems must not be weaponized to surveil, stigmatize, or restrict access to medications used in abortion care, including mifepristone. - People seeking reproductive health care: It affirms that mifepristone is safe and effective with FDA approval for over 25 years and decades of peer reviewed evidence. It opposes political interference that could deter access. - Environmental and water agencies: It urges focus on science based environmental strategies and warns against diverting limited resources to testing for medication abortion. The resolution notes most U.S. water pollution comes from agriculture and industry, not these medications. - Policymakers and state actors: It highlights more than 60 bills in 22 states in 2026 that tie environmental claims to restrictions on medication abortion and calls those efforts politically motivated and lacking scientific basis.
