An absolutist could say abortion is good or bad, in this case our absolutist thinks it's bad, because killing absolutely bad. IDK if you're an absolutist, though I doubt it.
To your question, more an explanation of why we do so, not a reason to accept the lie. When we tell our kids these things we do so with full knowledge of the conceit, and all of us eventually have to walk it back when our kids come up with some novel question. In doing so they begin to show awareness of exclusively sub-optimal fields or exceptions and this is usually when we begin to gently lead them away from absolutists deontology into moral reason.
