Mary Miller, environmentalist?

Mary Miller (IL-15) is one of twenty-five congressional Republicans calling for an investigation of mifepristone in the nation’s water supply.

Some context from PolitiFact at the Poynter Institute:

Environmental scientists and engineers told PolitiFact there is no evidence that mifepristone has harmed the environment or people via wastewater.

“There is absolutely no evidence that this is an environmental issue,” said Nathan Donley, the environmental health science director for the Center for Biological Diversity. “Pharmaceutical waste can be a big issue when we’re talking about widely used drugs, but to somehow point to mifepristone as a bad actor here is completely disingenuous.”

Thanks, Rachel.
