conception. Most of the plants and information which provided these natural options were
destroyed. Though some of the information survives and some of the plants.

NATURE provided women with birth control and when necessary ways to end a pregnancy.
NATURE provided women with natural means of ending fertility if they wished.

As I've said some of this natural information survives ---
lemon, for instance, still kills sperm -- women used to use sponges soaked in lemon juice.

Papaya when eaten for seven days in a row would end a pregnancy.
It has the same active chemical which is now being used in RU486.

And, these are only one or two of the NATURAL options that I'm aware of ---
many of the plants have been destroyed.

NATURE provided plants for nourishment and our medication -- INCLUDING REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM.
