This is what happens when you only have one working political ideology. There's nobody to say "hey maybe we should ease up on this a bit". Banning baby wipes? Really? They are going to have a lot of stinky babies and diaper rashes. People are too lazy nowadays to go back to the more labor intensive methods used in the past.
What's nuts is thinking you can just keep throwing infinite amounts of non- biodegradable garbage into sewers, landfill, oceans and waterways.
How about reading the article?

...many wet wipes are mistakenly flushed down the toilet after use. Since they do not break down, they clump and congeal with cooking grease and other discarded items, and as a result, clog the world's sewer systems. These so-called "fatbergs" are not only revolting, they clog and break pipelines, and are difficult and costly to remove. New York City officials told The New York Times that the city has spent more than $18 million from 2010-2015 on wipe-related equipment problems.

I've never heard of them but there's more to it than you say. Apparently they are also used as makeup removers and also people flush them down the toilet, clogging the sewer system. NYC should copy this good idea:
