If God knows everything, and doesn't want us to abort babies, why does he let women who will abort get pregnant?

Where were you during science class? Sexual intercourse is the cause of pregnancy not God. If you never have sex you will never have a baby.

Bon: That is because if God were to stop allowing the birth of babies, He would be interfering in the affairs of this world. Since God is a parent [Heavenly "Father"] , He is in the teaching business. People today, have decided to use abortion as a type of birth-control, for the most part ! As a natural consequence for this decision to do so, we in North America are on the dawn of a population shortage of "home-grown" population and will require hugh amounts of migrants from other countries to pick up the short fall, as the white population dissipates and the migrant numbers multiply. Eventually, the governments will have to be back-filled by the migrants and as a direct consequence, laws, rights and freedoms will change to suit the vast majority of the largest migrant group. So; God gives people the right to be wrong ... along with the consequences. I hope we never thought we were going to really get away with abortion - did we ??? We have choice afforded to us.

God created the world and he created man and gave mankind deminion over the world. God rested from his works on the 7th day. Mankind has been messing up ever since. God has given us instructions and we have not followed his instructions. Abortion is the sin of murder and is outright rebellion to God and is a reflection of a unthankful heart. God gave us marrige to have sex with in. Not out side of marriage. Generally abortions are by the single people today trying to cover up there sin. Who sad it is that young woman can love every jerk that walks in the door with there bodies and can't love there own children. Why are you seeking to blame God for your short comings.

Everything happens for a reason. God knows what's to come, before we ever will, and there is a plan for everything.
Hence the term, "What goes around, comes around".
Something is bound to backfire, and someone will burn in Hell, or pay the consequences. Whether it's all the women who aborted their babies, the doctors who performs abortions, or whoever passed such a law that allows this kind of act to even exist.

Women are so perfect that God sends Christ, His unique Son to Maria. If some of them choose abortion today, it is the corruption of our time, and we have to answer Him this question, not He to answer us. He ordains the law of causality on all the universe that no one can escape by telling that man is not the cause of corruption.
The innocent children in abortion, in war, in natural calamites are enjoying greatest blessings beyond our knowledge. The deniers of the Creator and the doers of evil are bitterly suffering even right now, but they don't know why, and they blame other people instead; finally, they will know when they return to God in the spiritual realms.

To be honest, I don't think that's God's fault. Yes, God does know everything. But he doesn't make everything happen. Like any wise parent, he allows us to make choices which have natural consequences to them, that sometimes are stupid mistakes. The question is, how responsible will be when we make those mistakes?
I think that God has enough respect for people that he will allow them to make choices. But the natural consequences of those choices are something that comes with the choice. You can't tie yourself up in chains and jump in the swimming pool and then say: "Why did God drown me?" or even "Why did God let me drown." The answer is obvious: because you were stupid and expected God to get you out of a situation which you put yourself in. You can't expect to jump in the swimming pool all wrapped up in chains without consequences. Same goes for any act that we do as human beings.

Its not so much letting them get pregnant. They make the choices that lead to pregnancy, which also leads them to make the choice of getting an abortion. Its no different than murder, so that is like asking "why does god let people get murdered?" its not god letting this happen, he gave us free will, it is the evil of people who do these things, not god. if god let all the aborters never get pregnant, that almost like saying, alright go have unprotected sex, ill save you from the consequences. nope, doesnt work that way. just like god doesnt prevent murder, its all about free will. sucks huh? but then again, would you rather us not have free will? tough stuff

So God gets the blame again for peoples choices? Someone decides to have sex and gets pregnant, takes no precautions..and then murders the baby to pay for the parents roll in the hay...wow....so you want God to let you have sex with whom and whenever you want..and make sure you are protected from getting pregnant..wow you really want to make God out to be just like any other hateful person.
God gave us laws..advice etc..now do you want to be a robot..or do you want to use your brain and choose for youself?
I note you didn't say "why does he let women have unprotected sex..and then only when they are married"..I mean He does tell us in the Bible to be married first..

I HOPE YOU TAKE TIME TO READ THIS:
It is because these women decided the matter by themselves ONLY...through the thing we call "free will". God still hopes for these women to do it the right way and fear him.
Logically, God knowing what we are going to do does not mean that we can't do something else. It means that God simply knows what we have chosen to do ahead of time. Our freedom is not restricted by God's foreknowledge; our freedom is simply realized ahead of time by God. In this, our natural ability to make another choice has not been removed anymore than my choice of what to write inside the parenthesis (hello) was removed by God who knew I would put the word "hello" in the parentheses before the universe was made. Before typing the word "hello," I pondered which word to write. My pondering was my doing and the choice was mine. How then was I somehow restricted in freedom when choosing what to write if God knew what I was going to do? No matter what choice we freely make can be known by God and His knowing it doesn't mean we aren't making a free choice.

He wouldn't be just if he suspended natural law in order to keep them from sinning. It would be no different than if he were to prevent murder from ever taking place. A person has free will to abort their baby as well as free will to think for themselves rather than going along with the consensus of opinion.

"...For he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, he sendeth rain on the just and on the the unjust." -Matthew 5:45
God doesn't make any distinctions in his gifts to the world, and you cannot determine a persons heart by the gifts. You can, however; see how they use these gifts. If you are talking about babies, you have to know that God can make more. Nothing is wasted with God, contrary to whatever we perceive.
