Change the word abortion to murder in your post, and you get:

“Any [murder] connection of any kind still involves my agreeing to take advantage of [murder] when it benefits me.
That absolutely destroys any attempt i make to object to [murder]. The response will be, “you used it when it was convenient for you.”
I can see God using that same argument.”

Jesus was God, and an innocent man. Despite that, He was wrongfully beaten and murdered by unscrupulous men for money and power. And yet, that crime against Jesus, His horrible death, created our only path to salvation -— and all Christians accept and benefit from it.

Would you have pulled Jesus from the cross so that he would live a long life of preaching and teaching, but die a normal death as an old man? What about salvation?

There is no salvation without the resurrection, and no resurrection without the crucifixion. The ways of God are above the ways of men, and we only see through the glass dimly.

Or did you acknowledge that all things work together for good for those who love God, and accept salvation from a crucified (and resurrected) Jesus knowing full well how He suffered to give you His gift?

***John 10: 17“Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”***

Again, you have a willing participant in Jesus. Not so with an aborted child. No one got his/her permission.
