Abortion
History of abortion
According to some anthropologists, (induced) abortion has occurred from ancient times forward. Abortions were induced with sharpened sticks, poisonous herbs, abdominal pressure, special exercises, and other techniques. Many ancient texts contain specific recipes for abortificants, or even descriptions of specialized medical instruments designed to remove a fetus from the womb. Along with changes in medical science, there have been changes in the societal norms and laws that govern abortion.
