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!

With this pill, the intent is to kill an embryo, should it exist. Wrong. The intent is to prevent pregnancy. Zygotes will fail to implant for LOTS of reasons. One in five pregnancies end in miscarriage.
I just don't believe it's human life until it is a fetus.
