Each is indeed unique. But I know of only one with a special name. In fact, in my entire life I’ve barely ever heard of other ones. Not never mind you, just almost never.

Anyway, I’ll stop going on a tangent. Apologies all.

Yes here it’s killing a group specifically because they pose a financial, biological and/or lifestyle inconvenience to the narcissistic ego of those who are morally responsible for them.
 
And the biggest one in the history of mankind. One might even say the worst ever.

First, I want to note that the term genocide wasn’t coined until after the Holocaust. There is a fairly tortured history of the terminology used to refer to the Holocaust and many Jews do not use that term: they may refer to it as the Shoah instead.

Second, the Red Terror, the Holodomor – there are others that have unique names.
 
Just in Christian America. God have mercy on us.

1.5 billion worldwide. And on the whole world.

As has been pointed out, that quote, simply dredged up from an anti abortion web site with no attempt by that site to put the comment in context, did not mean what the site wants you to think it meant. The full quote from a letter she wrote:

"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members,”

Although your error was likely made unintentionally, perhaps you could take the opportunity to adress it.

Thanks @JSRG for drawing attention to this and @Freddy for clarifying the quote (from TFP Student Action referenced by @Aquinas11). It helps no one’s argument when false or misleading claims are made. I will be wary in future of claims made by this source.

I agree that it is systematic:

First, porn promote sex as entertainment. People have sex for “release”. Women seek abortion.
Systematic indeed.

Can we stop abortion by simply illegalizing it when porn is still billion of dollars business?

I doubt it.

Fewer people are having sex since porn. I’d happily see porn banned, but that may actually increase the number of pregnancies.
 
If the number of people having sex and the amount of sex being had has decreased with the ubiquity of pornography, then its abolition may see the opposite happen.
 
Prior to the ubiquity of pornography, a higher percentage of individuals were having sex more often than they do now.
When pornography became readily available the percentage of individuals having sex decreased. Concurrently, there was a decrease in the amount of sex the individuals who were having sex were having. I believe these correlations are not coincidental to the availability of pornography.

My hypothesis is that if we were to remove access to pornography, we would see an increase in the percentage of people having sex and the amount of sex those people have.

People who watch pornography have less sex. They suffer impotence at higher rates than people who do not watch pornography. Viewers of pornography are more likely to have difficulty relating to people of the opposite sex. Viewing pornography creates problems in marital and cohabiting (illicit) relationships. None of these are conducive to sexual activity. If we remove the availability of pornography, these problems will be significantly reduced, creating conditions more conducive to healthy (clinically, not necessarily morally) sexual behavior. That is less porn = more actual sex.
 
As someone who does not share the Catholic position on abortion, but does share the Catholic view of genocide, I do not agree with the OP.

I also think Catholics would be wise to temper their language. Abortion is abortion. You can oppose abortion without saying it is the equivalent of murder, or genocide or anything else. If you have confidence in your arguments, oppose abortion because it is abortion. Not because it is like something else, in your view.
 
It isn’t like murder, it is murder. And since it targets a particular group is fair to call it genocide.

Even if I were you to agree with you on this I would still point out that such rhetoric requires the people you are trying to persuade to agree with three things and not one. That’s harder.
 
Every Catholic here for the most part believes in that and the three or two that don’t aren’t going to suddenly change their minds. It’s a popular point so it’s not like they haven’t heard it before.
