Are IUDs likely to be outlawed?

Actually IUDs and a few other birth control medications do abort a fertilized egg. They aren’t barrier methods. So if life begins at conception (fertilization) then yes - they are abortions.

Actually, they aren't.

IUDs work by aborting the “unborn”. It’s not birth control, it’s abortion same as the morning after pill.

If there isn’t a credible movement to ban all abortive than we’ll know how hypocritical the laws are.

So there is fertilization and conception, and then the magical IUD lets out an embryo-killing chemical?!

No, the IUD makes the uterine wall inhospitable. The fertilized egg cannot implant and is spontaneously aborted.

You can really just look it up, PP. It’s not secret information. They have always worked this way.

I did look it up.

A Mirena has kept me from having a period and endometriosis for 20 years. They'll literally have to pry it from my cold, dead uterus.

This is what your article states:

In very rare case, IUDs prevent implantation which is considered a contraceptive not an abortifacient effect.

For extremists, that IS an abortion. Preventing implantation of a fertilized egg is killing a human baby as far as they are concerned.

I’ve never been so happy to be in menopause. I worry and will fight for the rest of you though.

This was the objection of Hobby Lobby to some forms of contraception a few years ago. Really depends on how comfortable forced birthers are with tiny odds that could still mean removal of a fertilized embryo evem if it's just 1 percent of the time.

Nice summary here:
