Either or...but I think for this discussion we should stick to sexual / reproductive health...general health for women in collapse might warrant it's own topic.

Agreed on both counts, absolutely. And most definitely, no form of birth control is perfect, or can be relied on 100%, depending on the person and the situation.

I'm sure there would be some herbal remedies...might be mistaken, but wasn't there something women would drink in older times which would end the pregnancy in the first trimester?

Well, I think it is the juniper berries in gin that can produce miscarriage."Juniper berries (Juniper utahensis) were known to the Shoshone Indians as "Sammapo." Washo Indians: "Paal." Paiute Indians: "Wapi."...Also, they used a tea from juniper berries, taken on 3 successive days, a cupful at a time, for birth control."

Juniper grows all along the coast of North America. Could be something to look further into.
