The Souls of the Unbaptized Infants

The Catholic Church is not 100% sure about what happens to those babies that were never born or that died at a very young age and were never baptized, for it is not their faults that these misfortunes happened to them. They never committed a sin and never really got the chance to reason and use that intellect and free will that God has blessed us with. But, it is certain that the souls of these infants are taken care of by our omnibenevolent God and do not experience any suffering. 

The common perspective is that the unbaptized/aborted infants go to a place called Limbo of the infants, not Purgatory. This place is not Heaven, for they do not have the beatific vision of God and are not living in communion with him. But, because they do not have any personal sin, they will not experience any suffering. They will not experience the supernatural happiness of being with God, but they will experience natural happiness. The Church does not exactly know what happens to babies that are without Baptism and die or those that are aborted. It is certain, though, that they go into the hands of a truly loving and merciful God. They have not committed anything sinful; therefore, they should not experience any suffering in their afterlife. This speculation of limbo does not have to be accepted by the members of the Catholic Church. There are other things that are believed, though. Some people count the desire of the Church to baptize the unbaptized babies or aborted babies as a form of Baptism of Desire. Some people think that the aborted babies experience a Baptism of Blood. But, this way of Baptism for aborted infants is not very accurate, for the Church has stated that Baptism of Blood occurs when a person dies from a martyrdom for his/her faith. The choice of a mom of aborting a child is not necessarily a martyrdom for the Christian faith. Ultimately, we know that God, who is loving and merciful, chooses what happens, and hopefully this involves salvation.
