If God really is what Christians say he is then there is no moral problem with abortion

Here's the formal argument:

1) God knows everything. (Assumption)
2) God knows which fetuses are going to be aborted (1)
3) God is all Good. (Assumption)
4) God would never do anything cruel (3)
5) It would be cruel of God to ensoul a fetus that He knew would never be able to receive the redemption of Christ. (Assumption)
6) Therefore God does not ensoul any fetus that is aborted (4-5)
7) If a living thing does not have a soul then killing it is not murder. (Assumption)
8) Abortion is not murder. (4-7)
9) There is no other reason that abortion is wrong (Assumption)
10) Therefore, abortion is morally permissible. QED (8-9)
