Yet more flailing ignorance on your part.
The states cannot impose a state religion because that would violate the federal constitution.
Try enrolling in an adult remedial education class for social studies at your local community college, PoliticalSpice.
And the State can, in no way, impose its will upon Christianity or impair the free exercise thereof. That means that if a religious institution is opposed to abortion the State CANNOT force that institution to do anything whatsoever that goes against its tenets.
Who exactly is opposed to a person or religious institutions opposing abortion? I don't care if someone chooses not to have an abortion based on their religion. Just don't try and hold everyone in society to that religious belief.
Opposition to murder is a religious belief, rather than a secular one?
OK.
Terminating an unwanted pregnancy before viability is still not murder.
"On November 12 the reconstituted jury convicted Peterson of
first-degree murder with special circumstances for killing Laci and second-degree murder for killing the fetus she carried."

Fetus/child/baby/adult/senior/adolescent simply refers to the age and developmental stage of a human:
"
efinition
noun, plural: fetuses
The yet-to-be born
mammalian offspring following the
embryonic stage, and is still going through further development prior to
birth
Supplement
Following the embryonic stage, the developing young enters the
fetal period, which is in the later stages of development prior to birth. The
fetal period is when the
offspring has taken a recognizable form as its own
species. The fetus is also characterized to possess the major
organs in contrast to an
embryo. Tthe
fetal organs though are not yet fully functional and are still undergoing further development.
In humans, the
embryo is called a fetus at the ninth week from the time of
conception up to the moment of birth. After being born, the
offspring is called an
infant or a newborn."
