God loves Kate Michelman?

The last half of Psalm 11 goes like this:

The Lord is in his Holy Temple, The Lord's throne is in heaven, His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. The Lord tests the righteous, but the wicked, and the one who loves violence, His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals, fire and brimstone and a burning wind. This shall be the portion of their cup.

For the Lord is Righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright will behold his face.

Of course, the Lord also says: "Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, and not that He should turn from his wicked ways and live?" Perhaps I can make the case that there are those who are merely wicked, and then there are those who "love violence" (and loving abortion clearly counts as loving violence). Why should it be surprising that God hates people who love abortion? Abortion is that which God did not command, nor did it enter His mind! Think of it: abortion is an action so vile, that it didn't even occur to the omniscient Creator of the Universe! (And just to stave off any "Can God make a square circle?" sophistries, omniscient means knowing everything that it is good to know.) If sacrificing (unborn) children to the gods of success is therefore "over the top" in such a horrible way, can you be completely sure that God loves those who do so and do not repent?

Are you making the case that Christ did not die for all humans? Why should Christ have suffered for Kate Michelman's sin if such sin would cause God to hate her beyond any possibility of forgiveness?

One of the difficult parts of being a Christian is that in a way the context for every individaul verse is the entire Bible. The views I've expressed here are consistent with orthodox theology and the text of the Word.
