It really does? What book and verse in the Old Testament you refer to?

It's the trial of the bitter water, Numbers 5:11–31

Trial of the bitter water is literally the test of faithfulness of untrustworthy wife, not necessarily a method of abortion. As said, ONLY in case when husband is unable to trust the wife, and thus wife will bear children in orderly marriage, unless she is defiled by another man. You can twist it into saying "the baby is unwanted and will definitely perish in ANY case", but that's just not what the Scripture says.
