Do you recall which passage for that 2nd point?

I don’t remember specifically where but it was in Numbers and Leviticus. It had the ladies drink tea made from the spices from the altar, which included myrrh and mastic resin, both of which are known to cause miscarriages. It then described their stomach falling out as their bodies were cleansed.

That sounds very much like a miscarriage to me.
