pain that goes with living on earth? Or don't they believe deep-down that there really is a Heaven, which would be a logical reason for not cutting short a life on earth.

Life is either sacred or it is not. If it is, preserve it at all costs. If it is not, we might as well destroy it at will. It is terribly expensive to keep the sick alive and wholly impractical to prolong the life of an ill person who will die anyway.

I'm for abortion, but this is just a bad path to travel down. By your logic, the Christians should be going around and aborting every pregnancy, as a kindness. This is in contravention to both pro-choice and anti-choice arguments.

If we believe that life is a gift from God, and if we believe what the Bible teaches about life beginning at conception, then we have 2 reasons to try to save the lives of the unborn:
1) If we believe in Jesus as the Messiah and that we are all sinners who have fallen short of the glory of God, then it is imperative to give each child a chance to continue life and be born. In this way, as they grow, they will have the opportunity to hear of Jesus and learn of His salvation. They will learn that Him being Lord of their lives will ensure them eternity in Heaven.
2) If we believe that the child in the womb is innocent and that God would not condemn the unborn to Hell, then the unborn are our brother and sisters. They are "the least of these". Jesus said, "What you do unto the least of these, you do unto Me." If the unborn are allowed to be murdered through abortion, then we are allowing people to kill Christ again, metaphorically.
Either way, we must stand up for the unborn, and their families.

So why don't we all go out and shoot everyone who we think goes to heaven I know a few... Hmmm...but...wouldn't I be ...condemning myself? And what does that have to do with being a minority? Lots of white people don't like it either

Of course they don't believe in heaven. They're rational beings. If we arbitrarily believed things without any evidence to support them, we would all be jumping off tall buildings believing we can fly.
P.S. Pro-life isn't about protecting the unborn. It's about controlling women.

1st,
The majority of the world opposes abortion.
The USA is split pretty even keel.
2nd,
Why not murder everyone on the plant then? The answer is because life is a paramount virtue.

What about the killers and the ones that did nothing to stop the murder?

Some believe these babies will go to purgatory. All these rules are confusing.
