I assume this is a slam against Catholic teaching.
Well, the answer is: NO.
Preventing life, while contrary to the purpose of the conjugal act, is not murder.

Birth control pills (as I assume you are asking about) prevents the egg from ever leaving the ovary. Sperm can not get into the ovaries, no matter how hard they swim.
If the person taking birth control pills is a shoddy user, the egg may release, the sperm may fertilize the egg, but the egg won't attach to the uterine wall. Ergo, no pregnancy; unless you count the petri dishes that have fertilized eggs for in vitro pregnancies as fully human.
Birth control, as you have in your question, refers to the pill, condoms, diaphragms, UTIs, female condoms, and abstinence. Do you consider abstinence to be genocide?

NO!
Here is a fun fact about birth control
It stops the egg from attaching to the wall of the uterus.
Therefore it can not be fertilized
Therefore life wouldn't be conceived
Therefore NO
Excellent question

no, contraception PREVENTS conception.
notice this quite clearly in the contrasting suffixes:
"contra" as opposed to "con"
if something was never even created, let alone alive, it cannot be killed.
so it is not homocide, genocide or infantiside.
idiot.
