Abortions are mans work, which God allows because of free will.God is the universes biggest abortioner, given the number of miscarriages worldwide every day, despite the innocent suffering of the mother to be. According to theology he decides to let them happen, even though the free will of the mother-to-be would be to go through with the pregnancy.
Of course you could construct a logical argument which excused god from the problem of evil and innocent suffering, but can you solve the problem inductively as well as deductively and still remain morally serious? What is more likely that there is no god and these events are tragic and part of our natural world, or that god doesn't prevent innocent suffering becuase he moves in mysterious ways /wants to bring the most people to his side and suffering is a way to achieve/we can't know his mind/its his masterplan [insert here phrase you feel most comfortable with]
