<< If you believe what you state souls go to Heaven, where they get full rights and live forever with great rewards and riches. >>

Do souls get full rights in Heaven? If they do, then souls also get free will in Heaven. Based on some beliefs, there could be a lot of nasty, criminal souls in Heaven. Due to that, perhaps we don't want the souls of aborted fetuses to go to Heaven. Perhaps you are right!

<< The logical extention of your rational in the context presented is such then why not take whatever means you need to to go there also. >>

Exactly! Many zealots live every minute for this same purpose. Many religions are used as roadmaps to Heaven. Do you have an answer to your own question?

<< Also if this is justification then anyone can send anyone to get full rights and live forever with great rewards and riches at any time. >>

Possibly, right? Let's say that the extremist fundamentalists got majority power in this country. Perhaps they would make new laws, making it easier for people to get into Heaven. It could happen. Who knows? Down here we have people who's God likes to have chickens sacrificed for Him. Anything is possible with the right belief system.
