Is having an IUD like having constant abortions?
From the "related links": "IUDs interfere with sperm mobility and egg fertilization. The copper in the Copper-T IUD is also believed to act as a sort of natural spermicide, and the hormone in the Mirena IUD also thins the lining of the uterus, and thickens cervical mucus, both adding a backup means of protection." Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. By preventing pregnancy from ever occurring, the IUD is not like having constant abortions.

What is the difference of a hormone IUD and a copper IUD?
The hormone IUD is also called an IUS (intra-uterine system). It's made of plastic soaked with a synthetic progesterone called levonogestrel which is the same stuff in the NuvaRing (vaginal ring) and several brands of birth control pills. It works by a) preventing ovulation and b) affecting the inside of the uterus which prevents a fertilised egg from implanting. The copper IUD is made of plastic with copper wire or copper tubes wrapped around it. Copper is a heavy metal, so it's slightly poisonous (but the copper in the IUD is not enough to affect the rest of your body so don't worry). It irritates the inside of your uterus, which prevents a fertilised egg from implanting. With regard to side effects, usually people using the hormonal IUS will have lighter periods and people using a copper IUD will have heavier periods, but as with everything else, experiences can vary a lot.
