What happens to babies when they die? Do they go to heaven? If all babies go to heaven when they die, then wouldn't you be altruistic by aborting them?

What are your thoughts? I know some people think you can't be saved unless you are baptized, or accept Jesus, or any number of other ways, so just imagine killing the baby or the person right after they are "good to go" for heaven.
