I assume there were certain herbal medicines the temple priests knew. There are probably rabbis who still know them today. I have read that the seeds of wild carrots (Daucus carota) can be used for birth control. I don’t know any plants that cause miscarriage but I met a Shoshone medicine man when I was about 12 years old. He said their herbal medicines include knowledge of plants that can ease childbirth but also induce an abortion, but they don’t share that knowledge with White people, for fear of it being abused or banned.
“Bitter water” sure sounds like an abortion pill to me.
