The following is a copy of AronRa's comment to me that we need to read Numbers 5: 11-31 though the context shown us in the Talmud. It shows the three passage of the Tulmud that AronRa refered me to:
"Numbers 5 definitely does endorse abortion -with God's direct involvement and consent. But to understand that passage, you have to read it in the context of Hebrew tradition as explained in the Talmud; Yevamot 69b, Sanhedrin 72b, and Ohalot 7:6.

The following is an excert from the book of Enoch 68: 17-18:
17The name of the fifth is Kasyade: he discovered to the children of men every wicked stroke of spirits and of demons:

18The stroke of the embryo in the womb, to diminish it; (69) the stroke of the spirit by the bite of the serpent, and the stroke which is given in the mid-day by the offspring of the serpent, the name of which is Tabaet. (70)

(69) The stroke...to diminish it. Or, "the blows (which attack) the embryo in the womb so that it miscarries" (Knibb, p. 162).
(70) Tabaet. Literally, "male" or "strong" (Knibb, p. 162).
