Our creator is free to rescind that choice, otherwise, it wouldn't be a free, unobliged choice on their part. The only point at which our dependency on their will is transcended is when someone other than the creator can be the substitute for the will of the creator. Hence, abortion up to the point of viability outside the womb is a permissible act rooted in either divine freedom and/or the free choice of the mother.

Comments?
Why stop at ex utero? I mean, a human being isn't really plausibly viable until they're 7 to 12 years old when they can scrap with the other scavengers at the garbage heap.
