Have you seen God do an abortion?

You have no examples of abortions.
None. I suspect you have no clue what a D&E procedure does.
You clearly have no idea what an abortion is. Abort means to stop. Anything that stops a pregnancy is technically an abortion. Very few of them are done via D&C let alone a D&E.

Abort, yes, but not abortion, in context is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.
You are wrong again

I have not experienced God in any form whatsoever, nor do I expect to. However, spontaneous abortions occur, which if you do believe in God, are clearly his handiwork. Plus of course there is all the stuff in the Bible about killing people, many of whom would have been pregnant women.
Well based on the world in decay from disobedience, Christ has made the way back to perfection. So not entirely

Some calculations are possible with the killing of the Midianite women in Numbers 31.

The passage tells us that there were 32,000 Midianite virgins captured. Given the times, those will likely have been girls under the age of about 15. There will have been about 32,000 boys who were killed, again probably aged less than about 15. That gives a total of 64,000 children.

A newly married woman has no children. A woman married for 15 years or more would have about 10 children below 15, allowing for infant deaths and the lack of contraception. Take 5 children per woman as an approximate average. 64,000 / 5 = 12,800 women capable of bearing children. I will ignore post-menopausal women.

How many of those women were pregnant? A pregnancy is nine months. Allow, say, six months between pregnancies. Possibly less if the newborn dies early, but I'll stick with a six month gap. Nine months pregnant with a six month gap makes 9 / (9 + 6) = 0.6 of the fertile women pregnant.

This gives 12,800 x 0.6 = 7,680 pregnant women killed.

Given that some of those women will have been carrying twins, we can say that approximately 7,700 unborn Midianite children were killed on God's orders.
That is what happened to tribes who wanted to kill God's people and force them into slavery.
Now we have Jesus who has made the way for everyone.
