First, let me say that I think labeling abortion as a "religious" or "moral" issue is a pretty slippery slope. That being said,
1. God surely does not intend for a premature baby to die. We have a lot of technology that allows us to save lives. This does not mean we are defying God.
2. What overpopulation are you referring to? Most of the overpopulation is in concentrated areas, and if everyone were to spread out, there would be plenty of land to go around.
3. Child abuse is a terrible thing which will happen whether there is abortion or not. However, we have child protective services to help the children, which I know from experience DOES work. I don't think the POSSIBILITY that the child might be abused is enough to justify killing it from the get-go.

You really open up a can of worms when you ask a question like that. However if you applied your philosophy to all of life we would still have a life expectancy of about 40 years.
If you believe in a god and follow the catholic ban on contraception how could you possibly complain about the world sinking under a mass of humanity?

Good points, but they don't impact the actual debate.
The debate is really about WHO gets to make life or death decisions -- the individual, based on their personal choice, or the govt, based on mob-rule forced morality.
Logic is probably not going to sway the people who want to force everyone to follow their particular religious dogma, because those people have already abandoned the concept that you cannot force someone to share your faith.

Abortion won't ever be illegal due to the fact that the government can't ever control a woman's body, and that's that.
