It was the second abortion law passed in the United States--Connecticut's was the first in 1821--and in its initial form, in what the historian James Mohr has suggested was a reaction to popular midwife- administered and folk abortifacients like the juniper oil called savin, the law prohibited only abortions induced by poisoning. In 1835 the wording was revised to prohibit instrumental abortions as well, and by the late 1800s every American state included in its criminal code an abortion law with provisions comparable to Missouri's.
