I just remembered what this crap might be connected too. At Uni we had some anti-abortion student groups. I now recall a convo with one who was uber religious and she talked about how banning doctor abortions was one thing but then there were all the other ways a women could make one happen. I asked what those were and she talked about all the herbs and other concoctions that can causes them—the stuff that witches give people.

I’m serious about the witch part. She did say that though her definition of ‘witch’ included people like herbalists and tribal people.

She’s right that there are plants that are know arborfacticants and there’s certain herbs that should be avoided if pregnant. Same with certain essential oils. None of these work well or are that successful. At the levels needed they are more like poisons.

Anyways it wouldn’t surprise me at all if ‘all the other ways’ was the in the personal reasoning behind this.
