How can that be called an abortion, when no one knows if fertilization has taken place? It sounds to me like it is a stab in the dark, assuming that everytime someone has sex, the egg and sperm meet.

That's an interesting point. It's like shooting a gun into a room, not knowing if anyone is in the room. If you hit someone, it could be viewed as some form of reckless homicide rather than intentional murder.

But isn't the law on killing someone based on the intent of the murderer? With this pill, the intent is to kill an embryo, should it exist. If someone shot randomly into a room, intending to kill whoever was in there, that might be construed as 1st degree murder (intentional and planned) or at least 2nd degree murder (intentional, but not planned).The means of the murder (someone is a bad shot or planned it in a stupid way) wouldn't change the charge.

BTW, Very interesting theory you've come up with!
