I’m not mrs don o but these are just different abortions going on. The iud and many varieties of the pill can and do do early abortions. If you are against abortion you shouldn’t use them - apparently some varieties of the pill are ok ( I’d not use it anyway cause I think harmful to women)
Barrier methods and avoidance methods aren’t abortifacient.
Gotcha. Well Catholic logic dictates that barrier/avoidance are problematic as well.
Not the pill, which stops ovulation.
The IUD does not stop ovulation. So sperm can meet egg. But when the fertilized egg travels, it finds no place to implant. It can implant in the tube (can happen without the iud as well) and be potentially deadly if not discovered.
Still, let’s put a working iud into perspective. Of all fertilized new embryos, only 50% or less go all the way. So having a new embryo not make it because of (the usual) chromosomal abnormality in nature , or no fluffy lining to start growing in, doesn’t seem as horrible as an 8 week old baby with beating heart being destroyed.
Most “miscarriages” happen even before the test goes +. Otherwise every act of sex when there is an egg would result in pregnancy. The next most common miscarriage happen once these early tests prove pregnancy hormones, but sadly she gets her period and it didn’t stay.
