Those Christians who told you that? Wrong. They're the kind who think that "God couldn't punish an innocent child." Well, there's several reason why he can and must. First off, the child is not innocent. It may not have committed any sins, but it still has a sin nature. So, even though it has done nothing wrong, it is to be punished for being an heir to the human condition. Don't think that sounds fair? Jesus recieved the greatest punishment any human will have to bear; he was completely innocent and without sin, yet he took the punishment for all sins for all eternity, took it upon his shoulders. If God can punish His own son in such a way, it is easy to imagine babies recieving the same treatment.
And another thing: do you think that the only thing Christians care about is having people "get saved?" Wrong. Even if a baby was allowed to live instead of being aborted and became a vehement atheist, would it have been better for him not to live? No, because every life is sacred, no matter where it goes.
Well, I could probably say more, but I'll wait to see what you guys say.
