Predestination is not part of all religions; Judaism, and most mainstream Christian denominations do not believe in it. While, yes, it is agreeable that God is omnicient and has the ability to forsee every possible outcome free will makes that determination random therefore God knows the most likely outcomes but surprises can still occur. There is nothing predestined or determined already for us in this life; circumstances can unpredictability change as well as choices.
Even the standard goes according to Biblical Law that even the hand of God cannot interfere with the vote of a council. Say the vote was between red or green shoes. If God came down and demanded that all elders wear green shoes and the council voted for red shoes then the red shoe ruling stands due to our free will.
As for unborn children, we cannot say rightly what happens to them or where their soul goes. The Church for centuries asserted that their souls remain in a state of limbo being niether alive or dead, just stuck in a vaccum more or less until their appointed day to stand before the Lord during the final Judgement.
