The problem of evil/suffering when it comes to children

These are the same people who are against abortion despite believing in ensoulment at conception and the innocent being allowed into heaven, no question. Apparently a life of abuse, abject poverty, disease,  severe mental or physical handicap, etc... after which they are "called home" is better than getting the call immediately. Sick, sick thinking.
To suggest that abortion (infanticide) is on par on pulling a soul that has breached what it can absorb or endure is several steps beyond evil. How can you possibly compare what amounts to post sex birth control (where the parent(s) decide whether to be bothered with raising a child or not) To any of the love, knowledge, (of what this child will amount to/how he will be affected) or forethought God would put in before He call a child home?

Are you so detached from compassion for either the aborted baby or the beaten child that you can only see infant death, and not the planning or forethought that went into said deaths? Where is your empathy? or does empathy get a pass here because we are discussing something you personally have been brainwashed to feel no empathy for..
