This is not true. The medicine was for miscarriages (it was referred as “spontaneous abortion”).

It's explained in the article that you linked. Some women did take the medicine to induce an abortion, but they did not do that with Hildegard's aid or assent.

There is a helpful discussion around this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/q88veb/is_this...

Read it how you wish, Hildegard is clearly ambiguous on the application and specifically includes the “she aborts an infant which is a danger to her body” which certainly goes much further than, say, Texas.
