So, even though it has done nothing wrong, it is to be punished for being an heir to the human condition. Don't think that sounds fair? Jesus recieved the greatest punishment any human will have to bear; he was completely innocent and without sin, yet he took the punishment for all sins for all eternity, took it upon his shoulders. If God can punish His own son in such a way, it is easy to imagine babies recieving the same treatment.
And another thing: do you think that the only thing Christians care about is having people "get saved?" Wrong. Even if a baby was allowed to live instead of being aborted and became a vehement atheist, would it have been better for him not to live? No, because every life is sacred, no matter where it goes.
Well, I could probably say more, but I'll wait to see what you guys say.

Ok cool I understand now.
Sorry the Christians or Catholics or whoever I was talking to was in my high school, and I guess they weren't the brightest bunch in their religion (a few of them had pretty high GPA's).
I brought that abortion question out and all they could say was that God still wants them to be able to make choices. Then I asked if they could save someone (helping them get to heaven), which technically abortion was a free ride to heaven from what I gathered from them, then why is abortion bad?
Their answer: They still don't get choices (DUH that's the whole point they don't have a chance to sin so they can go to heaven).
Anyway thanks for the info but I still don't think it is fair that a baby that doesn't get choices that dies still has sin.
