Premise 1: Christianity is true, and God, Heaven, Hell and Jesus are real.
Premise 2: Moral is the action that does the most good at the cost of the least bad.
Premise 3: Aborted or miscarried children go to Heaven (this seems to be popular consensus)

A certain woman understands these premises. One day, she has an accidental pregnancy. She is very worried about the fact that there is a good chance that her child will not choose Christ (note that most people in this world are non-Christian). She aborts the child and it goes to Heaven.

She then decides to have a series of pregnancies, and abort each one. Each time, a new soul goes to Heaven. She continues doing this, under the belief that what she is doing is in the best interest of the unborn child (after all, Heaven is infinitely better than Earth.)

Is there anything wrong with this action?

[/ QUOTE ]The one thing that I always noticed that gets overlooked, is the difference between having children in biblical times and having children in modern times. It's not so much biblical times but greater than around 150 years ago children where a cash generator. You could put your children to work, i think the estimate that a child would be worth around 10,000 a year. So at least the monetary aspect of the dilema wasn't an issue. But today children are a boon of on average 18,000 a year. I think this adds an important consideration to the abortion issue, that no one seems to bring up. Children are expensive, which was not the case when the "pro-life" scriptures were written.
