Does the Bible support the use of abortifacients?

Courtney K. from the US asks:

I was wondering, since Psalms 104:14 says God made “herbs for the service of man,” why are many plants used as abortifacents in certain societies, such as Native Americans and some Amazon tribes? I suppose the same question could be asked as to why many are poisonous: the Fall. But is there perhaps another refutation, to prevent some from saying that if that verse is true, He’s ok with abortion? I saw somewhere that some scholars interpret Numbers 5:11-31 as abortion. And yet elsewhere, it seems clear the Bible does not advocate for it. Thank you for your time.

No, it does not.
In fact, according to the Didache (a catechism used for new Christians during the times of the apostles and their descendants) labeled abortifacient medicine to be witchcraft.
