The reason for their slaughter is clearly stated and it isn't original

You miss the point, the reason why God could justly include women,
infants and sucklings is because they were by their nature already at
enmity with God, and deserving of death, their life duration only ever
being at the discretion of God. Otherwise, God is always just whenever
He takes a life, under whatever circumstances.

Again with the question begging!! Oy oy oy! And I'm supposed to accept
this on your say-so? You beg the question, yet again, that infants
deserve being ripped to pieces by a sword, or skewered with a lance,
or have their skulls crushed with an hammer or stone, based on
original sin. Show me where the Bible teaches that infants deserve to
die such a death. It's simply not enough to say so, Matt. Back it up. >>

Right on Reverend! I could not have gave a better answer.
