So god decides that abortions should happen then?
That He allows them to happen doesn't mean He wants them to happen. It only means that He allows for the free will decisions of the people involved in making them happen.
No,no,no, you have specifically stated that nothing happens unless god decides it should happen.
Now you're saying that things happen even though god doesn't want them to.
Two completely contradictory statements.
I'm coming to the conclusion you don't know what you mean.
I'm not sure how I could be any more clear. God has decided that His creatures can defy Him, because of free will, so that's what should happen..but it obviously isn't what He prefers to happen. Again, perhaps the distinction is going over your head, but it is a pretty simple concept.
