In considering children during the Rapture and their age of accountability, Dr. David Jeremiah addresses this question in his book, The Great Disappearance, chapter 15.
God knows and loves the unborn baby even in the womb (Psalm 139:13-17)
What about children who may have been miscarried, aborted, or died in infancy?
"Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them;
for of such is the Kingdom of heaven." (Mt 19:13-14)
"Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven
that one of these little ones should perish." (Mt 18:14)
A child is a person from the moment of conception. This truth allows that all preborn babies who perish go straight into the blessed arms of Jesus. For mothers who grieve over their aborted babies, God knows how to pour His healing and forgiveness into your life through the merits of Christ. Abortion is not the unpardonable sin.
Jesus loves you and He loves every child from conception. In fact, He loves us from before time began. Your child may not be with you here on this earth but one day you will be reunited with your baby in heaven. Take comfort with this knowledge that Christ will keep you as you anticipate your eternal reunion.
