Why did God create so many abortion/miscarriage inducing plants?

Question

it seems like there are tons of plants that cause abortion/miscarriage. many different kinds were used by civilizations around the world. from the romans, to the egyptians to the jews (syrian rue grows in the middle east) many ancient people used plants that cause contraction of the uterus and miscarriage. women would intentionally ingest such plants to lose unwanted babies. 
Moses and his people knew about such plants. Even herders in the Sinai desert today still use syrian rue as an abortificant. but God never made any law to say they couldn't use them. strange isnt it? 

 if God didn't want women to have abortions why the heck did he make it so easy by just eating a plant? and why did he allow such plants to grow on just about every continent except antarctica?

<> You're confused. The plants themselves are morally neutral. It's MANKIND's MISUSE of these plants that have lead to abortions/miscarriages. <> As if to prove my point for me, you've given detailed information on some of the ways in which MAKIND - not God - have misused mortally neutral plants to carry out morally illicit acts. It's not the plants' fault. It's not God's fault. It's man's fault. <> Not strange AT ALL. The problem here is that you have no idea why God deemed certain animals/plants as "unclean" but not others. For example: Ever read Leviticus? Every wonder why God demanded the sacrifice of certain animals? It's not that those certain animals were evil. Those animals did not displease God in any way. It's that neighboring civilizations worshiped certain animals as Divine Beings. God demanded the Sacrficie of those animal "gods" to the One True God - as a means of proving to the world that the only god IS GOD. If God did not deem the plants you take issue with as "unclean", it simply means they weren't objects of divine worship by pagans. That's all it means. I'm afraid you're simply reading too much into something that just isn't there. Relax a little, okay? <> Another example of how it isn't the plants' fault; it's not God's fault - it's man's fault for misusing those plants in that fashion. <> Because the climate in Antartica is too harsh.

Perhaps pro-life protestors should start protesting their god, since he’s the one who:

   1. Kills 1/4 of all potential humans through natural miscarriages
   2. Doesn’t stop or persuade women from having abortions
   3. Lets thousands of children die each day of starvation,
   4. Lets millions of children be physically abused by their family, and
   5. Slaughtered innocent children numerous times in the Bible.

If a god exists, he/she/it is responsible for the death of more innocent children than all the most evil human beings combined. Why would this god be deserving of our worship and praise?

All Christians should be pro-choice. The Bible is pretty specific about this. It says punishment should be an eye for an eye, life for life, etc., and in the same passage it says that if a man hits a pregnant woman and causes her to miscarry, he only has to pay fine (to the woman's husband). Because he doesn't have to pay with his life, he clearly did not take a life. Abortion is not murder. The Bible says so. Forced abortion is wrong (not as bad as murder), but the Bible says nothing at all about voluntary abortion. Of course, since when do Christians actually listen to what the Bible says?

There are many uses for herbals and the misuse of such that causes something bad to happen is not the fault of the plant or the creator.

 If you drink water non stop for 4 hrs straight your body can not process the water fast enough and you will drown in your own body...

Are you going to then blame God for the water also ??
