## Resource

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, alongside 14 other Republican AGs, is pushing the EPA to classify mifepristone as a water contaminant — a move critics say is politically motivated, ignoring bigger water threats like agricultural runoff and water scarcity. Ironically, Kobach previously opposed EPA lead pipe regulations, which are now advancing with millions allocated to Kansas. Environmental advocates call the sudden focus on mifepristone misleading, noting no scientific evidence links it to water safety risks — suggesting this is really about restricting abortion access, not protecting public health.
