Because, under the Christian belief system, God doesn't have to answer to anyone, so he's free to indulge in all the murder and sadism he chooses, and we still have to lick his butt and call it ice cream.

Abortions are committed by imperfect humans who don't have the right to kill.
God is sovereign over any and all things. He has the right to exact his PURE justice, power, love and wisdom.
Humans are imperfect so how are they going to exact pure justice or pure anything? Abortions are usually done because the unborn child is an inconveniene for imperfect humans. That is not how God would take a life.
Pray about it instead of trying to get a quick fix from this forum. If your heart is good and in the right place, God will see this and help EVEN you to attain accurate knowledge. If it's all a smoke screen he is far away.

I'm agnostic but I don't agree with this argument.
By creating you and giving you life for some time, is God indebted to you? Do we hold a omnipotent God accountable to ourselves? Does He owe us something? Would it be wrong for Him to decide to give us life for 10 years instead of 30?
If there is a God, He is not answerable or indebted to us. But if abortion is sinning against Him then that is wrong.

God is pure, our sin has caused distance. He allows our existence until our sin, hardens our heart against him. Once a people reaches that point he allows their removal. This has played out all through the Old Testament.
Jesus and his saving Grace has changed how our lives play out. But no where has God allowed us the right to destroy an Innocent life. We have the ability but never the right.

The most direct answer is: Because it IS against God's will.
God is the only person that has the right to condemn an otherwise innocent person to a Christ-less eternity (which He has never done, by the way).
The government has the right and obligation to execute one who has murdered. That is also ordained by God. However, since the unborn child has done nothing to anybody, why would you think that anyone has a right to murder them?
God says to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death (Prov 24:10-12).

Abortion is murder. Do you advocate murder? But for God to kill is not the same in that he created all things. It's like erasing a chalk board. Does the person who wrote on the chalk board have the right to erase it?

Well, when you create whole galaxies and life on a blue-green planet called earth, my guess is that such a One makes the rules. Besides--- God wiping out baby-killers like the ancient Amelakites who ripped unborn babies out of young Israeli women's stomachs is absolutely cool with me. It also has nothing to do with abortion. You're obviously confused.

If God planned every birth and death, doesn't that mean that God planned for the person who got an abortion to not have that child? And if he planned every death, doesn't that mean that murders should be rewarded for fulfilling Gods plan? And, yes, I know people are going to give me thumb-downs for pointing out the idiocy of "God's Plan."

There weren't enough people to create a community of righteous people. God had to eliminate the evil in the world in order to start over with enough righteous people to speak out against the evil in the world. The people God "took out" were more animal than human in nature. It was only through the patriarchs of the Jewish people that morals and ethics were introduced into the world.

The bible is full of instances where God kills his creations. I compare it to a breeder of dogs deciding a litter was no good and throwing them all in the river. And yes in this example, people are a pomerian or other "toy" dog.
