All children before the age of accountability and the mentally challenged the Bible says will be saved.

That doesn't make any sense. How could they have anything to take to heaven? Before we are born or when we are born.
Our bodies are like a clean sheet of paper up on which nothing is written. Even the first few years of your life you can't even remember. I think during that time we have the intelligence of a animal. The bible says that those who go to heaven are kings and priests of God who rule over the earth.
Revelation 5:10
How could a fetuses or a fertilized ovum be a king or a ruler?
It is the promise of a person. But our life depends on our parents relationship with God for salvation until we are an adult. 1 Corinthians 7:14
ONe parent or the other has to be a Christian for the child to be saved. Once we are 18 or an adult then we have to cultivate a relationship with God and obedience to his rules is required to be saved. How can a fertilized ovum do any of those things?
James 2:26 As the body without spirit is dead so also faith without works is dead.
So what kind of works does this egg have?
Ecclesiastes 7:1 A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one's being born.
Why would God say that? Because upon being born God does not know what we will be like. No one does.
Upon a man's death he has had time to make a good name with God. So he is assured a resurrection.
What does God resurrect? A piece of goo?
I do not agree with having an abortion but to think God is going to resurrect every female ovum, even those that were fertilized and fell out? Hundreds do in a women's life time.
That is the blue print for a human, but knowing how to build a house and actually building one is two different things.

Oh, and while your at it people, why don't you give us the secret to traveling at the speed of light?
It is an impossible question to answer without the knowledge of God himself. This is because we do not know whether they have souls or not. As humans, we have no idea when the soul is created/put in/whatever.
But, if it turns out that the unborn fetus does indeed have a soul, it WILL go to Heaven, for it is impossible to NOT go to Heaven before knowing right from wrong.

No. In Islam we are taught that the child gets a soul at 4 months gestation. If it dies before that it ceases to exist and doesn't go to Heaven or Hell because it isn't a human being. If it dies at 4 months gestation or up to the age of 10 it will go to Heaven because 10 is the age of accountablity in Islam and it is a human being because it got the soul @ 4 months. Eggs don't have souls so they don't go to Heaven either.

Yes, I believe that they and little ones who were miscarried are there in Heaven. I also believe that every woman who had an abortion and every man who either forced the issue or stood by and let it happen will have to answer for it as well.

"I knew you before you were in your mother's womb." That is scripture from the old testament. I do not believe in the term fetus-it is a baby from conception on. Nothing more is added but time and nourishment. Why is it that human beings can proclaim to be so compassionate yet there are some that have no remorse in the death of the unborn? Yes the unborn child goes to heaven.

There is absolutely nothing in either scripture or authentic tradition that tells us what happens to these people.
Anyone who claims to know for sure, is either a liar or a fool.
Only those who have in some way been stained by sin are liable to die, since death remains the universal penalty for sin.
Conversely, one who is without sin is not liable to die.
The fact that such people can die is proof that they have already been affected in some way by sin, and if that is so, then they typically need to be baptized before they can be suitable for heaven.
The only thing we can do for sure is pray for them, and entrust them to the mercy of God.

I would think that yes because the moment of conception you are made human and they have not had the chance to accept God because their mother killed them before they could. I would think that God would let them into Heaven.

Yes, I believe by God's grace, they do. They never had a chance, much less a chance to know the need of a savior.

The answer is yes. If there has been conception and in your illustration there has, then they are human and immediately have a soul at that time.
