Herbs? What herbs?

According to the news reports I've read, she says she self-induced the abortions using herbs. Is this even possible?

The comment below was on the third page of comments. I haven't read all 26 pages of comments, so perhaps this has been pointed out already, but...

>>Republican rule has been a disaster, to be sure. But there was no peace under Clinton, and the country's wealth was moving from poor to rich all the while. Recall, please, that the bombing of Iraq never stopped for a day under President Clinton and that our destruction of that country's power, water and sewer systems was blamed for half a million deaths, a price our secretary of state said was 'worth it' to contain that beast Saddam. Recall, please, that some of our most vulnerable citizens were stripped of public assistance in the name of welfare reform; watch 'Roger & Me' again for a reminder of those times.

Clinton was elected president in 1992. "Roger & Me" came out in 1989. Seems a stretch to hold him responsible.
