Your comment is red herring, but I'll tell why I choose drugs example:
(1) Not choosing drugs is healthier choice, same goes for homosexuality.
(2) Brain factor is same for both: homosexuals and drug addicts.

So different people are susceptible to different things, where are you going with that?

Brain of drug addicts are different too like homosexuals, but drug addicts have a choice and homosexuals don't? I don't see the logic here. Shouldn't it be same for both?

Is pumping out babies somehow more worthy than being a productive citizen in an economic sense? What does population growth have to do with morality?

You need to be more specific. It should be with moderation and balance, but when countries start to pay thousands per birth, there is something apparently going wrong.
Muslim countries have their problems too, different ones, which they need to work on and they don't need other problems. This will only add to their financial problems. It is adding to health costs and insurance in developed nations.
Btw, population and size is directly related to economics e.g. China vs Taiwan.

Since when did you start arguing on the basis of evolution? Define 'natural'.

Definition of 'natural way of life' will differ from person to person but for this subject I would say living in ways what elements in nature supports the best. For example, living clean and hygienically is living natural way of life. However, it is a complex subject can be argued in many ways. Imo, best is to let the time determine to which type societies/communities nature favors.
It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and obedience to Allāh, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allāh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masākīn (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salāt, and gives the Zakāt, and keep their word whenever they make a promise, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of persecution, hardship, and war. Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqūn (the pious).
