Christianity could be a higher order way of organizing lives

Right, and if you want strong families (black ones included) abortions in the case of unwanted pregnancies in which the father is absent or likely to be absent would help towards this goal. If that subset of pregnancies skews black, that speaks to issues further upstream and is not an argument against abortion or its implementation.

Sometimes I wonder if having kids makes people better people (on average). Derivative from this idea is another idea that it could be the case that a population that doesn't have enough kids causes its own devolution.

Oh, yeah, I like this. Not because I'm convinced, but because I love the dichotomy it sets up. Have more kids for the betterment of the whole at the expense of the proposed kids, or save the potential kids from the suffering of growing up in sufficiently sub-ideal circumstances.
