Remember, there is no god between us, neither is there such empty-headed magic as the “soul” nor any other such ridiculous hogwash. The only thing that exists between us is natural reality. Philosophical naturalism is our religion and it is the only religion that is not “non-sense.”

Nature is certainly sensible. It has an obvious logic, even a symmetry that we can discern. We see she uses this logic to produce and maintain the material reality in which we find ourselves and by which we are identified. Our human character depends upon it. We see it repeatedly in the unique sequence of our DNA. When we treat Birth Control as a human principle within this nature, as if it is truly compatible with our logical identity therein, and with it being a human principle when we apply it to the one human as well as to the many, we find the principle of birth control completely destroying the principle of man. Clearly then, Birth Control is not us. Indeed it is anti-us. Human annihilation is not a fitting basis for human existence and so Birth Control is immoral for that reason.

But it is not murder because it does not in practice directly eliminate the natural right to life of any extant human entity.

The pill is a simple matter. If a biological instance of humanity is killed, then willful use of the pill may mean the committing of murder.
