I was Episcopalian before and I don’t remember there being much discussion about it one way or the other. But there did seem to be a distinction made between abortion, which was killing a life already in progress, and contraception, which prevented that life from actually beginning. I suppose the thinking was that as long as you weren’t killing a life already begun, then contraception was OK.
Back when I was having babies, there was no RU486 to muddy the waters so that sort of question never came up.
