If it is true that the pill can cause forced menstruation of a fertilized egg, I would agree it would be equivalent to an abortion.

But is it true?

If it is true that the pill can cause forced menstruation of a fertilized egg, I would agree it would be equivalent to an abortion. But is it true? Yes, occasionally. It is not the primary method of preventing pregnancy by the pill, that would be suppression of ovulation. But occasionally an egg can be released and fertilized. In that case, it cannot implant due to chemical changes in the uterine wall. The rate at which this happens varies by pill and by study.
