A technique of abortion infamous for the controversy it elicits. Antbortion originated among the Navajo Indians in the mid- to late 14th Century, when Europeans were dealing with the bubonic plague and didn't have time to develop interesting abortion techniques involving insects. The desert climate and lack of sophisticated abortive materials such as clothes hangers were perfect conditions for antbortion to thrive, and up until the white man's arrival, it was the preeminent method of abortion used by the Navajo.
