Nearly all "birth control" pills prevent ovulation- no ovulation, no chance of conception, no unplanned pregnancy, no abortion.
Except for when it doesn't work, in which case the birth control pill also prevent implanting of the fertilized ovum - which, as you've indicated below, would be an abortion.

RU-240, or the "morning after" pill prevents implanting of the fertilized ovum(known as a "zygote"). That can be defined as an abortion.
The IUD technically irritates the lining of the uterus, preventing implanting of the zygote. That can be defined as an abortion.

I think you meant RU-486 which is specifically used to abort an implanted foetus up to 7 wks.
The "morning after pill" is a high dose birth control pill which is supposed to act the same way as the pill but at a very accelerated pace. My understanding is that if a woman takes it who has not yet ovulated then it will prevent her from ovulating but if the egg has already been released it has the secondary effect of preventing a fetilized egg from implanting.
I still have questions as to how well the secondary effect of the pill works when there are women who have become pregnant while taking it. I am just wondering if maybe when it fails to prevent ovulation then it also fails to thicken the uterine lining to the point an embryo would not attach. I'm not even sure how a proper research trial could be done to prove the secondary effect either way.

Usually if a contraceptive pill fails to work it is due to improper use (not taking it right) or because the woman is taking other medications such as antibiotics(which completely negate bc's), and some antihistimines. Of course, not every medication works for every individual due to body chemistry, so some "failures" are bound to happen. As I've said before, contraception should be available and affordable for people to use if they choose. It should also be safe, and continued research conducted to make it safer and more effective.
RU-486(thanks for the correction!) has some side effects that can harm the woman using it, such as excessive cramping and bleeding. It would be better if more folks knew that and if the AMA would insist on hospitalization so that the woman's condition can be monitored and emergency treatment available if somethinggoes wrong. That would no doubt decrease its use greatly.

A fertilized egg is a baby. To intentionally prevent a baby from implanting is aborting it. Because that is ONE of the intentions of the bcp, it is wrong. You can't separate the intention of the pill from your intention. If you take it, knowing how it operates, it is also your intention.
I disagree. A woman who knows she has conceived (or has likely conceived) and takes the morning after pill or similar to intentionally halt the process does NOT have the same heart/intentions as a woman who takes bcp's responsibly to prevent ovulation in the first place and would welcome a conception if it still occurred (my cousin's 2 children were both conceived while on the Pill). It's simply not the same. G-d looks at the heart.
