None of this paints a nice picture of God.
A 'nice' God would always agree with you, right?
But what happens when God likewise intervenes to prevent and punish every abortion?

Yes, of course God could immediately intervene to preventand punishrape/rapists. And Tom Sawyer would then say God is 'nice'.

But what happens when God likewise intervenes to prevent and punish every abortion? (Because child rape is bad but murdering children is worse.) What do you and Tom Sawyer now think about this God?
He's arguing for his perfect world, perfect as he sees it. It's a scary place where every imaginable and unimaginable cruelty is acceptable because it is part of some greater plan.I really don't get what it is that you're arguing here.

If God's intervention results in fewer people getting raped or murdered then yes, the end DOES justify the means. And there is no logical inference that said intervention means God likes rape and murder.

1. That God thinks rape is bad. (You asserted that God must think it's good.)
2. That you cant demand God stop every rape and simultaneously expect Him to allow abortion on demand. (Moral hypocrisy)
3. That God's intervention in biblical wars was done to hasten the end of that war. (End justifies the means.)

Why an intervention where fewer people get raped or killed rather than none? If you are already intervening and it's within your power to prevent or stop, why allow even one person to be raped or killed?

We already covered this.
Yes, God can stop us doing anything.
But you don't want God to stop you from doing whatever you want.
And you want God to turn a blind eye to abortion, and adultery and blasphemy and sodomy and greed - but only when it suits you.
When Barack Obama acts to "utterly destroy"the CanaanitesISIS/Alqaeda, thats OK. But it's not OK for God to hasten the end of a war with extreme prejudice.

But you, yourself said that God intervenes in human affairs, so it's only matter of degree of intervention. Why intervene here, but not there? Why prevent one rape but let another happen?

Barak Obama did not set out to target women, children or livestock, only combatants.

IMO you're using the same excuses theists use to justify war crimes.
With God on your side who can stand against you (the Israelites)? Those the Israelites fought would always be God's enemies in the future with their ways. It stopped there.
Never mind the innocent women, children and animals....but keep the virgins for yourselves?
There's no endorsing rape- the clue is in the Virgins bit., and the understanding they had about fonication against the law and death is punishment for rape, however... having virgins IF taking for wives and not servants is not against the law.
Do you believe that the virgins willingly gave themselves to the killers of their family? '
'So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. 18 Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.'' - Numbers 31
