Well, I do respect her opinion. Do you know a definitive answer to this? Or, can you direct me to one? It does make sense to me that the intent is important. Thanks!
 
Actually, a very significant percentage of embryos fail implant in women , who are trying to conceive. Human conception is actually quite complicated and a large percentage of humans in the very earliest stages die naturally in the womb. The older the mother, the more likely this is going to happen statistically.


A recent re-analysis of hCG study data concluded that approximately 40-60% of embryos may be lost between fertilisation and birth, although this will vary substantially between individual women. In conclusion, natural human embryo mortality is lower than often claimed and widely accepted. Estimates for total prenatal mortality of 70% or higher are exaggerated and not supported by the available data.

What’s your goal with this stats?

It is only statistiques on the natural miscarriages, it has nothing to do with abortive contraception that carry a responsability of the people that use it, if they are aware of it.

This is a personal opinion held by many people. This is not the official teaching of the Church. The Church teaches that contraception is intrinsically evil (excerpt from the CCC 2370:

In contrast, “every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible” is intrinsically evil:

Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality. . . . The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.

In the English language, something cannot be more evil than intrinsically evil. That is like saying something is “very unique”, it simply is non-sensical.
 
Direct abortion is a sin.

http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2271.htm

2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:
You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish.

God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.

We do not have a document that says accidental or spontaneous abortion is a sin, if we do, please, point it out!
 
Hormonal medications can thin the uterine lining, but not every woman’s lining is the same. In some cases thining that lining can mean not being anemic, being able to leave the house, not waking up in a puddle of blood, needing transfusions, trips to the ER in the middle of the night, saving fertility and avoiding hysterectomy.
