In my earlier question does "Original Sin" mean that aborted fetus's will go to hell (paraphrased) showed that most Christian respondants belived that the fetus's would be shown mercy, and go to heaven as God/Christ is merciful and will not condem a child for a parent's sin. So then if a fetus's soul is going directly to heaven, (without having made a free will decision? but by God's mercy?). Then is aborting unwanted fetus's and sending their souls directly to heaven a Sin? or Gods work? Given that from the answers I have received most Christians belive that 100% of these souls go to heaven from an abortionists work, is it more rightous to be an Abortionist then a Preacher?

I don't think the question is stupid but for refusing to acknowlage it's validity you seem a bit silly. I understand that killing is forbidden but and in this case the Abortionist might suffer from god's wrath, but might he/she might also be shown mercy, as there is no injured party? In fact if an unwanted child was spared a life with an unwilling parent wouldn't God judge that as a "Good Work"

The person having the abortion is committing the sin, not the unborn child. The unborn child knows no sin, therefore will go to heaven. Think of it this way...
Satan is the father of sin. Abortion is a sin, because you're murdering an unborn child. However, God can still use that evil for good. That child may have had a horrible life or something and will now just get to go to heaven.. You never know what could have been..
The abortionist will have to deal with their own sin of what they did.. You should hate the sin, not the sinner.. And abortionist is not righteous. Just because someone is a preacher, doesn't make them righteous either. What makes someone righteous is their belief in God.

First, in the United States, abortion is not a crime, yet alone a victimless crime.
The issue of abortion is not (I repeat not) in the Christian bible. Because it is not present, God did not reveal to us anything about this issue.
The concept of "Original Sin" as related to mankind's fall from the Garden has nothing to do where souls go. The bible is explicit clear that God, not man, judges.
That is biblical answer. As to you being an abortionist than a preacher, stick to being an abortionist or spend more time with the scriptures. You do know that you can be both.

Apply your argument to born children and see how much sense it makes. According to you, Christians should think it is acceptable to shoot a one-year-old in the head, because, after all, the child will go straight to heaven and not have to experience the trials of this life.
You know, some people actually believe that killing innocent human beings, regardless of their size or age, is always wrong.
Consider this comment from http://www.deathroe.com/Pro-life_Answers/Answers.cfm?ID=54:
"...In other words, abortion can be tolerated because the victims are sinless. This perverted theology is often the refuge of a Christian minister who is looking for a way to justify his cowardice and inaction over abortion.
The question is, would he apply this standard to anyone other than the unborn? If his own daughter was about to be murdered, would he try to stop it or just shrug it off because she is going to go to heaven anyway? If he was on a jury and it was clear that the accused was guilty of murder, but the victim’s pastor testified that the victim went to heaven, would he let the killer go free? If an ax-murderer came into his church and began hacking at people who were saved, would he just look on with a smile comfortable that the victims were going to heaven?
Better yet, would he be willing to put this philosophy into action by immediately killing everyone he leads to the Lord, thus removing the possibility they might one day reject Him?"

I don't believe that abortion is God's work. Do these abortionists pray every morning and ask for God's guidance in doing His work before going to the clinics and ripping these fetuses apart?
If God would have wanted souls to go directly to Heaven, don't you think that He would have skipped the whole creation thing and just filled heaven with souls?
Next you will be saying that since Jesus had to come to Earth and die on the cross to be a sacrifice for our sins, that those who crucified Him were doing God's work? Maybe you will want them nominated for sainthood!
It's all about motive. God may bring something good from these horrible events (i.e. abortion, Crucifixion, martyrdom of believers), but that in no way relieves the people responsible for these acts of any guilt. When Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, he knew that he was not doing God's work. He did it out of greed.

Understand the meaning please. Abortion is the killing of unborn fetus from the womb of his supposed mother. So that is punishable in the law of man and the law of God and that is a sin against God. The mother who aborted the fetus is the sinner while the spirit of the killed fetus be brought by God to Heaven because a fetus and a child have not yet committed sin.
they are not on the tendency of sinning jsm

The baby who was aborted will be with God., because of God's grace. The abortionist and the person who was caring the baby are murderers. They both will go to Hell unless they repent (turn away from sins) and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of that sin.
The same answer for all other sins.

No human, not even Christians, can KNOW if a fetus will go to heaven or not. But they do go somewhere. In Psalms, David talks about his dead baby not being able to come to him, but he's able to go to his baby. Whether that means heaven or hell is unknown.

Fetus' or young children for that matter have not had the opportunity to accept God into their lives. They are not blamed by their lack of knowledge. They are pure beings accepted into the kingdom without reservation.

It is wrong to kill regardless of where the person's soul is going! You rob the world of who knows what potential when you kill it. What if that child was to develop a solution to world hunger. Let them shine their light on the world.

Although I do believe that abortion is killing a human life, I do not believe that it has a soul until it is born. So there is no soul to go to heaven or hell.
