Thank you for the explanation - it makes me quite sad however. My leading in the Spirit is much more optimistic for the aborted babies and those who could not or have not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ:

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. - Matt 18:10

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. - Matt 19:14

The LORD [is] gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. - Psalms 145:8

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. - Romans 9:15

The Church also teaches us to rely on the superabundant mercy of Christ; however, in this setting I try to argue the scripture and what is the position of the Church, not necessarily my own personal interpretation which sometimes occupied a more narrow area than the entire range of thought allowed by the Church.

Surely you would agree that the crime of abortion is so much greater because it deprives these children of the joy of ordinary baptism Christ prepared for them; even though His mercy extends to them in full in an extraordinary way.
