I really get irked when people try to discourage women from using effective contraceptives by spreading misinformation like this.
Not to confuse the issue even more, but actually a miscarriage is medically termed spontaneous abortion. It is an abortion, but one caused by nature and not induced (chemical or mechanical).

Again, pregnancy occurs at conception when cells begin to generate, not implantation.

If you're concerned about misinformation then please do enlighten women about the differences between birth control i.e. a contraceptive and an abortificient. Thanks.
