LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY rechan)
I was watching an abortion argument on a forum, and someone made a very interesting claim.
The pro-life crowd usually yell about abortion = murdering babies, et al. But the real source of their argument isn't the concern over the fetuses themselves.
While Catholics believe (IIRC) that a child must be baptised for it to get to heaven, Protestants are of the belief that a "grace period" or lee-way is permitted to those who die who had no chance to be accepted by Christ. Thus, the soul of an aborted fetus goes to heaven.
What's got the Pro-Life's panties in a bunch is that, if a woman who gets an abortion does not repent, she will go to hell for murder.
