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.
