Relevent quote(s):

Combination oral contraceptives act by suppression of gonadotropins. 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).

(Red-letter emphasis added in order to make it easier for you to find the references to the abortion-causing effect of Alesse amidst the technical jargon.)


Notes:
The following quote ignores the abortifacient effect:

Oral contraceptive pills are usually made from two types of hormones (estrogen and progestin). They prevent pregnancy by stopping the maturation and release of eggs from the ovaries. In addition, OCs thicken the cervical mucus, which prevents sperm from reaching the egg.
