God never addresses this in the bible. God is a just and merciful God and only God makes the decision of eternity.

I guess it depends on their beliefs. But really, most people who commit suicide are not in a rational frame of mind. They're depressed, and I don't think that any loving god would punish someone for something they do when they're not themselves. When people commit suicide, they really aren't thinking about the consequences of their action-they are just in so much emotional pain that all they can think about is ending it. Sometimes, it hurts so much just to live that suicide can seem like a better option than getting through it. I don't think that someone would go to hell for that.
If you are asking this because you are thinking about suicide, then you need to talk to someone about how you feel. Life can be overwhelming sometimes, but most problems really can be solved. All problems, really. You just can't always see the solution yourself. Which is why you should talk to someone, like a parent, sibling, friend, teacher, minister, or therapist about it.

Hell doesn't exist (and I'm a theist).
However, when an individual commits suicide, they leave all of their friends and family behind with the guilt that they could have done something to have stopped the individual, and the sadness that the individual is gone from their lives. And if that individual was pregnant, the guilt and sorrow would be ten times worse. So the individual has absolutely no right to commit such a selfish act.

I would assume if they were mentally ill or something, which is usually the only way someone would do that, unless they accidentally OD'd or something and you call that suicide, that they wouldn't be held responsible. And if pregnant, I guess it would depend on if they did it because they couldn't handle having a child, or were too selfish to. In that case, I'd say Hell awaits.

Our bodies are not ours to do with as we wish. They are ours on loan if you will. We are instructed to treat it well...it is (if you are a beleiver in Jesus Christ) a Temple of God. Meaning God lives in you; you are HIS temple! So, we are NOT allowed to harm HIS temple, we are not to give up hope in times of trouble or sorrow....it's NOT our body. If the women were pregnant, the child would with a out a doubt go to heaven. Children are not held 'accountable' until they turn the age of accountablilty....which is (if memory serves me)11 for females, and 12 for males. (the jewish barmishva sorry on the spelling) Basically, God views those ages that children will know right from wrong and if a child would die at the age of 12 or 13, they would be held accountable for their sins....again; by that age YOU KNOW right from WRONG!!!
Anyone who's not saved (this is what I beleive) will NOT go to heaven....and anyone who commits suicide will NOT go to heaven (saved or not!) The bible is very, very clear upon the act of suicide....don't do it!

They say that the person that commit suicide don't go to hell, but stay forever in limbo, his or her spirit will be wandering in the eternity without a place to be. Sounds ugly right? Now is she's pregnant there is another thing.

We are taught that suicide is wrong, but that person, in that state of mind, can not correctly choose right from wrong and therefore wouldn't go to hell. But, if a person knows that suicide is wrong and does it anyway, that is a mortal sin and would, in theory, go to hell.
Hell, in my definititon, is eternity without the Heavenly Father.

well then it would be murder and suicide... however to kill yourself you have to be mentally ill and I believe that God knows that. If at some point in your life you have ben baptised and had given your life to Christ you are always forgiven. IF you have not done that then I don't have any answer. I hope that God would give you a chance to talk about it but I am not sure. It says in the Bible that murder and suicide is wrong.

I would say Yes!! B/c you have taken your own life that GOD gave you! and he condemns that, but then again I am not GOD and is not in the position to tell someone their fate! But I would not do it! Try reading the Bible or asking a Pastor who is more well informed, but then again, who knows what GOD will do with that person at the end! A person killing themselves and their unborn child is a very selfish decision to that baby who may have wanted to live and explore life!
GOD BLESS!!!!!

If you believe in Hell, if you believe you go to Hell for murder, then yes. Because suicide is self-murder. As for the unborn child. The jury of my mind is still out on that.

Depends on your religious beliefs but most of them frown on the taking of life be it yours or someone Else's. As for going to hell wiccans don't believe in hell so I'd have to say no but we do believe you would be punished
