2)All chemical methods are abortifacient at least part of the time. This violates "Thou Shalt Not Kill."

Granted. Dobson is a blood-stained hypocrite for not teaching this obvious fact to Protestants.

In NFP the couple does not have sex then "throw up" the natural consequences, like bulimia. They simply do not enage in the activity at certain times, like dieting. There is a fundamental difference between dieting and bulimia. There is also a fundamental difference between NFP and contraception.

Not Granted. There are at least two obvious arguments against this, but I am going to ask you to bookmark this particular point for later -- I elect not to offer my critiques at this time.

Forty years ago, I also could see no difference between NFP and the use of contraceptives, and logically the case is hard to make. But in terms of consequence, the matter is clear. "Contraceptive Mentality" is not a mere rhetoric: It describes a world view in which charity is replayed by sentiment, duty by royal whim. Few who use NFP will, in the end, resort to abortion; the same is not true of those who use contraceptives, to whom a pregnancy is a "problem"to be fixed, an abortion a final solution. For the latter, every sex act is open to a death.
