Is there anything in the Bible about that?
If God does do this, isn't abortion good then? To allow souls to go straight to heaven instead of having to be born and live first? What then is the objection to abortion?
If not, why is God then called loving and forgiving? Why is it the unborn child's fault that it died?

Does the Christian god let unborn infants go to heaven?
Is there anything in the Bible about that?
Answer: Yes, because God loves them.
If God does do this, isn't abortion good then? To allow souls to go straight to heaven instead of having to be born and live first? What then is the objection to abortion?
Answer: No abortion is not good because it is murder for the person who does it. Doctor, nurse, and the mother. Also, it is not fair that someone should decide that an innocent baby should die.
If not, why is God then called loving and forgiving? Why is it the unborn child's fault that it died?
Answer: God is loving and forgiving. The child is not at fault. Everyone who is created must someday die a physical death.

The decision to give one's life to Christ is to occur before being baptized. Baptism is supposed to occur in the manner of Jesus' baptism--immersion. A child must be old enough to know enough and understand enough about right and wrong, good and bad and God and the Bible to make an informed decision before baptism.
Until the child, whether unborn or born, is old enough it appears likely their eternal destiny in most situations is in the hands of their mother. Their eternal life or death will get determined by the mother's choice. If such a child does not go to heaven it seems likely the child will not suffer in hell fire but will be as they never were.
There are some texts in the Bible that seem to support the above ideas and the rest of the above logic seems consistent with an all loving and just God.
The best definition of being fully human is what separates human life from other animal life and that characteristic is that the fully human has the ability to choose their own destiny. From the time of conception until the age of accountability (10-12 years old, sometimes younger) the child is not yet fully human and therefore is only a symbol of fully human and does not have the full rights of a fully human mother for example. Although abortion is a tradegy in any circumstance in some situations it may be better then any available alternative taking into account among other things, its chance of a healthy life and the chance the mother has a healthy life. All circumstances need to be considered by a group of well informed adults, which ideally would include family, clergy, doctors, mother, father, lawyer, etc. Sometimes abortion will be decided is the only logical step to take and in that instance it may not be a sin.
BTW: The bible says clearly that when one dies they wait in death until the resurection at the end of the world. They do not go "straight" anywhere. You are thinking of a pagan idea that started with Plato in Greece. It is not in the Bible.

First off, unborn or born children do go to heaven if they die.
My objection to abortion is that 98% of abortions are used as a birth control method. Why should people commit adultery just because they didn't take the responsibility of birth control before a child is conceived.
Less than 2% of abortions are for danger to the mother or child, incest, or rape. So that means most abortions are done because someone didn't take responsibility at the right time. Depending on how far the pregnancy is, the unborn can feel the pain of abortion.
God is loving and forgiving. Its human beings that committ abortions.
When children die either born or unborn is it not their fault, God takes them, comforts them and they live with Him forever.

Technically the OP is correct. And no, there isn't anything in the Bible about it...the Age of Accountability and other stuff got made up later when someone realized the obvious problems regarding Christian mythology and the unborn and newly born. The idea of someone's baby going to hell was so repulsive that someone came up with the idea of Limbo intending to comfort the many mourners of stillborn and crib-dead children. There were quite a few of them without modern medicine stepping in.
Therefore, if Christians truely love their children and want to send as many souls as possible to God, then they should (according to the logical conclusion of that dogma) kill their children before the Age of Accountability thereby saving their souls from corruption and sin. After all, it's the afterlife that's REALLY important, isn;t it? And you can always beg God for forgiveness later. Then everyone's happy.
Except that if it kept up there wouldn't be too many people left...but what does that matter agasint eternity?

All babies un born who die or all babies and children under the age of accountability go to heaven when they die. They do not know what a sin is. They are totally innocent.
Abortion is murder.
Exodus 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
This a quote from your posted question...
" isn't abortion good then? and "What then is the objection to abortion?" These come so easy for you to say since you have already been born and are alive to aske this question.. What if it was you in the womb???
Dont you realize that when a baby is vaccumed out of her mother, they just throw it in the trash and it is still alive, crying, hungry, scared, and dying a very painful death? and you want to know what is wrong with this???

No, infants definitely go to Heaven. No doubt in my mind. However there is a huge contradiction to abortion because it is sort of "playing God" ~ but conversely, I'm not sure He would have allowed the science of abortion to be discovered if He didn't want women to have the choice.
But just for the record I would never get one. I think the only exception to getting one is being raped. Only selfish women get abortions, there are a world of couples who can't have babies and are waiting for one to love. God bless.

All Human Beings who leave the Earth for Good befor Reaching the Age of Accountability---get their Spirits Recreated and are Taken to Heaven.
Some don't get to Experience Life down here or Gain Rewards in Heaven for Serving GOD.
It is Hard to Understand, but GOD Created this World WITH-OUT the devil, sin and the Curse on it to begin with. When GOD Created it, HE was Locked-In to it by Spiritual Laws.
Adam let the devil, sin and the Curse into it.
GOD is still Lock-In to sending a Human Being to be Born when Sperm meets Egg.
Not GOD's Fault the Earth got Cursed, but HE is still Locked into what HE Created after it go Messed-Up, and the Contract HE made with Mankind through Adam.
Adam Kicked GOD out of it.
GOD is on the Outside for now, trying to Help, untill the Contract is up with man.
Even so, come Lord Jesus.

Sometimes when a young child dies, clergymen “comfort” the parents by saying: “God chose your child because he wanted another beautiful flower in heaven.” Expressions like that are in fact lies. By saying such things people are misled into thinking that God is responsible for the suffering and death of babies, whereas the truth is that mankind has brought these things upon itself by rebellion against God and his rule.
Those who go to heaven go there to serve as joint rulers with Christ in God’s heavenly government. While Jesus is the main “seed” of promise, God chooses others from among humankind to rule with Jesus in the kingdom. They thus become part of the “seed,” as the Bible says: “If you belong to Christ, you are really Abraham’s seed, heirs with reference to a promise.”—Galatians 3:16, 29; James 2:5.
Since they are to rule over the earth, it is clear that those who go to heaven will be tried and tested followers of Christ. This means that babies or young children, who have not been fully tested during years of Christian service, will not be taken to heaven. (Matthew 16:24) However, such young ones who die have the hope of being raised to life on earth. (John 5:28, 29) So the total number who go to heaven will be small when compared with the many who will receive life on earth under Kingdom rule. Jesus told his disciples: “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.”—Luke 12:32.

that's elementary to %. out some verses yet, to truly understand the bible you want extra then your unbelief. The bible is continually telling of the parils of the destiny. it quite is to assert the time of Adam of Eve is repeating itself immediately in Jerusalem social gathering: financial ruin 3 starts out with a subtil enemy the serpent, extra subtil than any beast of the container. The serpent makes an furnish to eve that she doesn’t understand the outcome of. in the verbal change that Eve and the serpent have. The serpent tells Eve a lie and Eve believes what the serpent has to assert. The serpent suggested to Eve “ye shall no longer truly die“: understand that that's after Adam and Eve disobey God they're solid out of the sanctuary. And the serpent that develop into in the sanctuary remaind in the sanctuary. that's an same conflict occurring now in Israel. In 1967 in the course of the Six Day conflict, God positioned his human beings again in the sanctuary on the sixth day. And, the Palestinians who favor the sanctuary are saying, to the Jews, pay interest to me, leave, “and ye shall no longer truly die“. they favor God’s human beings to leave the sanctuary in case you want to stay in it. this isn't the in elementary words time in the former testomony it quite is repeating itself immediately. So, study and study and earnings in knowledge and also you would possibly want to as properly understand what's going to be occurring next in this international.

Going to heaven would be the better option if choosing between a mother that doesn't want you and God, seems like God would be the clear choice!
