Seems to me, assuring a baby gets to heaven for eternity is much more important than 80 years of life.
Especially considering all the possible chances of them doing something that will get them sent to hell.
If you could assure them of 100% chance of going to heaven, as opposed to having some chance of them going to hell, wouldn't you?
The ends don't justify the means is a pretty fundamental Christian belief. A person may have the good intention of ensuring their kid gets to heaven, but that doesn't take away the fact that killing the innocent is still objective wrong.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
