The baby will automatically go to heaven, but with the mom it is questionable, depending on her beliefs and how she lived her life.
This is the belief, right? If it is, isn't it more appropiate to try to save the mother's life before the baby's, giving the mother a second chance to "come clean"?

I definitely agree that the baby would automatically go to Heaven. However, I don't think that's really the issue when it comes to abortion. Maybe the mother has lived a very moral and Christian lifestyle and doesn't need a second chance.
