someone posted that video on Reddit and i read a comment where someone brought up Leviticus and the "ordeal of the bitter water". essentially, if you suspected your wife had committed adultery, you'd bring her to the church, have her drink the water, and if she miscarried, she was guilty. if she didn't, she was innocent.
If a man in the Old Testament era thought his wife had been unfaithful, he would take her to a priest, and the priest would administer an abortifacient (the 'bitter water"). If the woman aborted the pregnancy, she was deemed to be guilty of adultery, but if the pregnancy survived, the child was deemed to be that of the husband.
Is that how you read it?
