no, that's ridiculous. By that logic you would be commiting umm, sexualar homicide (i made that up just now, whatever) every time you had sex and it didn't result in pregnancy (or maybe that's a better metaphor for those who like to counter the pro-life argument with "am i committing murder every time i masturbate). The difference is that whether or not you want to call a fetus a "life" once fertilization has occurred the "life process" has begun. Stopping that process is in the eyes of the pro-lifers (i.e.-me) has significantly more implications than birth control. Ones taking a life, the others preventing life from starting. Easy enough, right? (not to agree with, just to understand - i'm not getting in another abortion debate)
