Abortion... please don't flame!

Correct me if I'm wrong, in Christianity the belief is once a human grasps the difference between right and wrong...and the person chooses to do wrong, then s/he will go to hell when they die if they haven't been "saved". At that stage of life, one cannot grasp the difference between right and wrong, nor grasp that Jesus died for their sins. 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.
