As I understand it, Romney was once a pastor (or whatever they call them) for the Mormon church.

So, do the mormons also baptize aborted children?

Has Pastor Mitt-Kolob-Romney ever baptized murdered babies that were butchered during the abortions that he had supported?

The position is called Bishop. He was also a Stake President (which is the equiv to a Catholic Bishop).

They don’t baptize children at all, since it is believed they cannot sin until age 8 and they are baptized (often) on their 8th birthday.

Regarding abortion, I know of no babies, either aborted or miscarried that ever had any ‘temple work’ (baptism and such for the dead), partly because the LDS don’t really believe life begins at conception. AFAIK, there isn’t an official position of when the ‘spirit child’ enters the body but most of my LDS friends believe it is late or right near delivery.

To most LDS women who have abortions (usually young unwed mothers who don’t want to get caught having sex) the thought is that the baby (its spirit) will have another chance to get a body (the whole point of them having kids) and be able to progress later so they convince themselves it isn’t killing a child or having a child die (in the case of miscarriage).
