By far most illegal abortions in the 19th and 20th centuries were committed by lowlife doctors--- the National Abortion League itself says 80%--- and almost all the rest by midwives and sage-femmes with herbals like pennyroyal and black cohosh, and drugs like quinine, which could bring on contractions and a miscarriage.
