Does anyone have any non catholic sources for scientific proof about abortion properties of the iud and the pill??
 
Typically, the websites will have the information on their websites. They won’t outright say that it causes abortion, because they don’t believe it is, but they will describe the functionality of their pill or iud. They say something to the effect of:

It works in 3 steps:
  1. First it attempts to prevent ovulation
  2. If ovulation has occurred, a thickening of mucus attempts to block and kill sperm to prevent fertilization
  3. If all of the above fail, the final step is that it prevents implantation.
In preventing implantation, the fertilized egg is then evacuated from the body, causing the death of the unborn (if it has not already occurred prior to evacuation).

I think you meant the MANUFACTURERS will have the information on their websites, right?

🙂

Yes, sorry. It is late 😛
I’ve been having trouble sleeping.

I think I was mixing “Typically, the websites will have the information” and “Typically, they will have the information on their websites”

But it’s too late for an edit now.
 
Maybe an evangelical has done research ??

Or a secular scientist?
 
I know what I have read through catholic sources but some non catholic friends say the sources are bias

Well, the product info sheet that comes with each IUD will explain how the device works. Here is one for “Paragard”, which is one of the more widely-used IUD’s in North America.

paragard.com/images/ParaGard_info.pdf

Halfway down the sheet, under the heading of “Information for Patients” is the question “How does Paragard work?” It then states, “Ideas about how ParaGard® works include preventing sperm from reaching the
egg, preventing sperm from fertilizing the egg, and preventing the egg from attaching
(implanting) in the uterus.”

So, you have the manufacturer commenting that they believe it works in several ways, one of which includes preventing the egg from attaching (implanting) in the uterus"

That should answer your question about the IUD.

As far as oral contraceptives, here’s the product info sheet from a popular brand:

thepill.com/sites/default/files/pdf/OTC_LO_PI_-03H268.pdf#zoom=100

Under Clinical Pharmacology, it states that " Although the primary
mechanism of this action is inhibition of ovulation, other alterations include changes in the cervical mucus (which increase the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus) and the endometrium (which reduce the likelihood of implantation)."

So, you have the manufacturers commenting that they believe it works in several ways, one of which includes preventing the egg from attaching (implanting) in the uterus and the other commenting that it reduces the likelihood of implantation.

I would say that’s from a non-Catholic and pretty scientific source
