If so, if the parent who has them aborted repents for the abortion, will they be reunited as you would with other family members who have passed on? Im speaking more from a christian standpoint, but any view is welcome. And no, this isnt about my own experience, im just wondering...

Yes, straight to the arms of God.
Also, baptism is not necessary to get to heaven - the thief on the cross was not baptized yet Jesus said to him, "this day you will be with me in paradise."

Yes, aborted babies are in heaven- they are the most innocent- those who cannot speak from themselves, and obviously was not given a chance to be at the age of accountability. If the woman who had the abortion- accepts Christ and repents- yes they will be reunited. God is merciful.

the bible gives instructions for how to perform an abortion, and also advice on when one is needed (numbers 5: 12-31). clearly god has no issues with abortion per se.
the medieval theologian peter abelard considered what happens to the souls of unbaptised babies. he suggested that they had a special home in the afterlife since they would be unable to bear the full splendour of god, but were also sinless.

In Islam we are taught that the unborn gets a soul at 4 months which makes it a human being. If it is terminated before ALLAH(SWT) gives a soul to the unborn then it is not human and doesn't go to Heaven or Hell. It simply ceases to exist since it was not human. If it is killed or dies in it's mother's stoamch after 4 months then it goes to Heaven. I know that abortion in Islam is murder except if the mother is going to die if she were to continue with the pregnancy but her punishment would be up to ALLAH(SWT). So I'm not sure if she'd go to Heaven or Hell.

I think they do with out a doubt. In the old testament, if a man caused a woman to have a miscarriage, it was treated as murder.
As far as being united and all that, the bible says that you will be known as you are known. In other words, you will keep your identity. It also says that Jesus will give you a new name, so I would surmise that these aborted babies will have that name.

There is no love in abortion, so there would be nothing to reunite. Regardless of age, all mortals must overcome the world, either here or hereafter.

I believe that we all go to a transition place before moving on to the next life. Babies that were aborted will meet with their parents to review the shared experience and decide what the next experiences will be with one another to work through the karma.

Yes they do go to heaven, because they are pure. These babies are in heaven and the parents will be reunited with them there.

I do not really know. Only God knows if the baby will get to Heaven. As for being reunited- once in Heaven we will no longer look at our friends and relatives in the same manner. We will treat them all equal.

Yes, aborted babies go to heaven with all the other souls of random cell clusters, bacteria, and shamelessly spilt sperm cells, where they can frolic merrily about, while avoiding all of the latter mentioned things.
