Modest Mouse – 3rd Planet Lyrics 10 years ago
Nice, but 2 things:

cum, in the sense it is used in this song is a conjunction "used in hyphenated phrases to link nouns that describe a person or thing with two jobs, uses, etc." So, basically, it means that the child reference is both a baby and an angel.

The abortion angle is something that occurred to me as well, but I don't find it to be a necessary interpretation. A child died, possibly before being born, but it's not clear how. It is clear that the person whose perspective the song provides feels guilt, sadness, anger, etc.
