Natural family planning is a Catholic thing. Most evangelicals are not opposed to birth control.

It's only the Catholic Church that is opposed to birth control. No Protestant sects are.

Thanks for clarifying. That matches my observations as the people. I know in real life who use that method exclusively are Catholics.

A woman chooses to get an abortion or not to get an abortion. That is why it isn't looked at as genocide.

What is driving Black women to get abortions at 4 times the rate of white women? It isn't poverty. Black women do not have a poverty rate that's 4 times higher than white women.

That's unreasonable, and flies in the face of human nature.

It is reasonable, and human nature is fallen and in need of redemption. Human failings ought to be ameliorated, not enabled.

The means to achieve redemption are freely available to all.

I'm 36 years old and I have never had sex. Sounds reasonable to me.

Poverty is only one part. Other factors to consider including not wanting children.

So your assertion is that Blacks want to procreate at far lower rates than any other race/ethnicity? Do you have any facts to back that up? This indicates otherwise:

Whites are under-reproducing. Blacks are slightly over-reproducing despite having a 4 times higher abortion rate than whites.

Race-based eugenics has always been a motivating factor behind the promotion of abortion. Abortion is marketed and made more readily accessible to minority communities. There is far more effort put into deceiving them into believing that abortion is a good choice or a legitimate option.
