Natural abortions are part of his super-special-awesome divine plan, whereas human-induced abortions are the products of our human arrogance and moral depravity. We think we know what to do with our lives and bodies better than god in his omniscient and omnipotent ways. We must follow his command to "be fruitful and multiply", even if it means we completely overload the environment and our own economic means to support our children, because life in and of itself is precious: future quality-of-life, pain, and suffering are irrelevant. God, being omnipotent, of course, could control everyone's actions, but that leads to some nasty theological difficulties of theodicy, so of course he gave us free-will to choose between following his plan or following the path of Satan. The only thing stopping all of us from being damned to hell for eternity is our glorious moral crusaders attempting to codify God's plan into law. And of course this has nothing to do with the fact that our "pious" community has a subconscious need to feel more holy and special than the "infidels" and have people to hate and shun.

Do I have the "reasoning" down right?
