I see what you are getting at, but you are accidentally labeling the barren and those living together as brother and sister as sinful because they remain a 'Binity' and celibates for remaining a 'Unity'.
Contraception is a sin because so many of the methods (all, in the ancient world) are actually abortifacients and because contraception flies in the face of the command to "be fruitful and multiply".
Virginity is good, and so is marriage. But to rip the fruits of the later while denying its toils and pains is despicable in the sight of the Lord. (I also don't understand how onanism can cause abortions either...)
I don't see what you're getting at at all, here. Could you spell it out for the slow?

The underlying reason it's regarded as sinful is not simply because it kills. Even a non-lethal form of conception is sinful. As Luka pointed out obliquely, onanism is still sinful, but nobody gets killed.
