This was an interesting read, thanks :)

I had not heard of native plants in Hawaii that could induce abortion, and I tried to follow the links to learn more, but none of them seemed to work or lead to information I was looking for. I have read that many traditional cultures have abortion practices, which makes total sense, you need to space out your pregnancies and value the life of the mother and not overburden resources that the community relies on. I just wish the links gave me more information about this.
