Isn't it better to perish in the womb and go to heaven than it is to grow up, become a sinner or non-believer and burn in hell forever?

Notice I said some. And considering the child was never wanted in the first place, it's natural to assume their potential for criminal behavior would be higher (making them more likely to be a "sinner").

Albert Einstein was a Jew by birth and a pantheist by nature. Therefore, many Christians would assume he went to hell. He apparently missed his true calling in life, which was to find Jesus as his personal savior and espouse Creationism.

Yes and No. To really answer the question you must know what is going on in the spirit world. You must understand that there is no eternal burning hell for mankind.
You also have to understand that death dealt to infants and the unborn is often demonic activity bent on keeping certain spirits from entering the earth. Herod's killing of the children under two years of age being a prime example.
Job in his troubles considered such a thing. Jesus said of Judas "...it had been good for that man if he had not been born." How can you help but ponder the fate of a child who is born to a "mother" who has no intent to care or love the child?
So I would say in some cases the answer is yes. That does not mean that one who has an abortion is free. Most would not be pregnant if they were free to start with. Like the rest of us, they came into the world conceived in iniquity and speaking lies.
By logic and by our limited knowledge and with your question stating "aren't some...being done a favor?" I would have to say yes.
The favor is not to avoid hell, because the gift of God is eternal life. If you want some logic -- You cannot live eternally without the life of Christ; ergo those who do not have that life cannot live eternally in hell or anyplace else.
There is some punishment after death for the "big" players;
the high spiritual and religious leaders, pedophiles, those
who have tortured or stolen from windows and orphans.
God has promised to put our sins in the sea of forgetfullness. That is also where he will put those who have rejected the gospel after the final judgement. Hell awaits the devil and his angels. The Word tells us that hell was not prepared for man.

Definitely not, how do you know they will become a non-believer. Imagine if George Washington or Albert Einstein were aborted, what would have happened to our world today? My favorite argument for abortion is the one that God doesn't exist because there is so much bad in the world. Some people ask why we haven't found a cure for AIDS or an end to world hunger. My priest gave an excellent answer for that, "God has sent us people that could do these things, but their parents aborted them." There is no excuse for an abortion, if the baby was not meant to be born the body would have taken care of that itself.

No, it is not better. Every human has a choice to accept the salvation that Jesus offered or to deny His existence. An unborn baby doesn't have that choice, and neither you or I know for certain that all unborn babies will go to Heaven. I think they will, but I just don't know.
For that matter, if you think that way, why don't you murder all babies, toddlers, and children up to approximately age five, which is under the "age of reason"? The age of reason differs from person to person, but if you slaughter all of our little children, we won't mind, because they'll just go to Heaven anyway.
Is that entertaining enough for you, Court?

No....the bible states that if you kill or abort a fetus....is a homocide or killing a human being....and everybody has the right to live....is not a matter of doing a favor in killing or letting it live....if there is a conception....you suppose to let it live....and the bible states that when someone dies....returns to dust....and not to heavens....nor to a hell.....and if it becomes a believer or a non-believer....is up to God's decision....and a personal decision....so there is not a logic christian thought....

well the law states a fetus is not a human being. So i dont know who told them but you are not killing a human being if your killing a fetus. Anyways, im probably 76% sure the baby would turn out to be a crackhead or whatever because its getting raised by parents that dont want him. Anyways, the world is getting overpopulated.

That might be your flawed logic but it is not Christian logic.
All people have the chance to go to heaven. On earth we experience the greatest gift of all CHOICE.
Of course aborted BABIES are not given that choice!

Wait, "christian logic"? Isn't that an oxymoron?
You have a valid point, there. I'm sure the christian response will be entertaining, if nothing else.

absolutely and there are many passages in the bible where god coomands to kill fetuses and infants so he can save them.
The other view is killing anything or any1 is not a sin as long as reason good.
Action can't be good or bad. Reason can.
THerefore GOD is pro-choice

who said they would become sinners or non-believers? isn't there an equal chance that they would be good people and go to heaven?

Since when is being murdered considered a favor?
