Some translations of the Didache explictly mention abortion and "exposing their young" (infanticide) as hallmarks of the way of death.
“The description of the Way of Death likewise includes many of these sins, but also such evils as “not pitying a poor man, not laboring for the afflicted, not knowing Him that made them, murderers of children, destroyers of the handiwork of God, turning away from him that is in want, afflicting him that is distressed, advocates of the rich, lawless judges of the poor.”
The Didache is a “hard teaching” for Western, individualistic, self aggrandizing culture. One need read no further than your quote to see that.
And yet such teachings, including something as simple as fasting on Wednesdays and Fridays, fasts which we keep to this day, provide us with a means to die to the self, so that we can experience the uncreated energies of God and thus fulfill our created purpose.
