There are lots of issues where there are religious people on both sides. Take immigration for example: there are Christians who support looser immigration laws for religious reasons, and other Christians who have religious reasons to disagree. You can say that makes immigration a religious issue, if you like - I won't argue. (Not because I agree, but because arguing over semantics is boring) Separate from that, there are issues where the religious people are pretty much all on the same side. My point is, the pro-life side frames abortion as the latter, when it is actually the former. And they do this not out of confusion or misunderstanding, but as a politically useful act. It helps their cause to frame abortion as a religious issue, because if it weren't that, it would be a medical issue or a rights issue or a privacy issue, and virtually any other framing hurts their case. Like I said, I'm not here to argue semantics. I just thought it was worth pointing out how divided the religious are on this issue, mainly because I wasn't aware until I looked it up.
