True.  He's really just talking to himself here, as even the most ardent proponents of BoD here would deny that it can apply to infants.  And there is no actual theology behind it.  It's just emotion theology.  I don't "like" the fact that unbaptized infants cannot attain to the Beatific Vision, so I'll invent something that would make it possible.  St. Thomas clearly explained that the Beatific Vision (and this is echoed by the Greek Fathers who implied belief in Limbo from very early on) is not something human nature is capable of, and that there's no injustice in anyone not receiving it.  It is not required for perfect natural happiness either.

That sort of thinking is typically found in women.  I think this is why many people in the forums over the years thought I was male.

I see this in a lot of questions, and it's disturbing every time. I've seen people make up the idea that aborted babies are martyrs because they are killed in sacrifice to Satan. I think it's also why most indult-mindset people such as epiphany fiercely defend the fake modern marriage annulments while generally rejecting the other modernist innovations as heretical. I think it's also the main motivation behind Bennyvacantism, as well as the acceptance of the modernist rite of ordination/consecration. I suspect it's behind the popularity of Fr. Ripperger as well, since it tickles people's vanity to be told they're being physically attacked by demons like the great saints such as the Cure of Ars, St. Anthony of the Desert, or even Padre Pio. In the new church it's why people accepted when their "priest" told them they could use contraception; they knew perfectly well that was wrong and did it because they wanted to, not because their priest told them.

It makes me pretty pessimistic about most people in the Novus Ordo church, since people believe what is comfortable to believe, not what is taught them by the Church. That's why most people went along with the changes, because they made them comfortable in their sins. It's also why I consider people in the new church, generally speaking, to be in bad faith about their religion and not to be Catholics.
