Does God endorse/do abortions in Numbers 5:11?

If a woman is suspected of cheating her husband and having another man's child in her then her husband takes her to the priest. She's given a "trial by ordeal", forced to drink bitter ashes and if she HAS cheated, the child drops out of her womb, RIGHT THERE. DEAD. ABORTED.

Or is it OK, because God is doing it?

27 When he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall discharge, her uterus drop, and the woman shall become an execration among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be immune and be able to conceive children. 29 This is the law in cases of jealousy, when a wife, while under her husband's authority, goes astray and defiles herself, 30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes on a man and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yaheh, and the priest shall apply this entire law to her

Update:

it starts at verse 11, Jimbo. Keep reading. What an idiot you are.

Update 2:

Hilarious. Christians ignorant as to what their own cult book says and refuse to read it! Like little children with their fingers in their ears.

    This 'Law of jealousy' is applied to the harlot nation of Revelation17[Babylon-Isa47:9, Isa13:16, Rev2:23] by our jealous God['...endowed by our Creator...'] for our unfaithfulness[Scopes{1925AD}&"We are NOT a Christian nation"-B.Obama] to depart from Him.

    the 'bitter water' is that of 3rd trumpet judgment: 'many men died', to the survivors of fall of Babylon[2nd trumpet]

    Numbers 5:11 says, "And the Lord spake unto Moses saying,". It doesn't say what you said. Get your facts correct.

    Ken, you're STILL incorrect. You didn't ask say anything about the following verses and IF you read the following verses, it has absolutely nothing to do with abortions. It has to do with determining who's lying about adultery or not by a pregnant woman with a gentile.
