The Catholic church officially DOES believe this. A soul is created at the moment of conception, and therefore for every egg that gets a sperm, that soul will eventually knock on the gates of heaven, and will help condemn those who helped with an abortion.
It may be the official position of the Church, that doesn’t mean they believe it. There’s rather a simple test for this.
