Is Using An IUD The Same As Abortion?

As I was driving the other day, I was listening to a Sisriux FM channel, and they were covering a hearing from the Louisiana House of reps, where a legislator was arguing that an IUD is akin to murdering a child, and wanted it added to the list of things a woman would be accused of (murder), if she chose an IUD.

His argument was that an IUD works by preventing a fertilized egg from sticking to the uterus wall, therefore it's killing a baby, because a sperm fertilized an egg and the IUD aborts it.

I thought I was in the Twilight Zone. A Democrat legislator was trying to argue that this makes no sense....

It's scary that these legislators have no understanding of how the female reproduction system works nor what an IUD is nor what it actually does. All they've been taught is women are meant to be baby making machines.

Are you sure? That seems a rather charitable assumption. It seems to me that no one could be that ignorant; it seems more likely to me that they really are as malicious as they sound.
