In order to make this argument work you need to argue that each averted abortion would divert enough money away from charities to cause someone to die.
I also note that your argument attacks the statement "We should prohibit abortion" on consequentialist grounds, while leaving the statement "Abortion is wrong" unassailed.
I have no opinion on whether killing babies is wrong. I generally consider it none of my business.
