I think most important is considering the 1A. I don't think it's likely to persuade people on this topic, change their minds about what they believe in regards to the subject. But surely we can agree the 1A should be respected? Not everyone agrees life begins at conception/implantation/etc. Opening the door to one religion dominating the laws seems to lead to outlawing contraceptives (preventing implantation of a fertilized egg) on the basis of enforcing the belief that life begins at fertilization of the egg.
I don't fully understand anti-choice advocates and most of the ones I know refuse to discuss the subject, of those who do their reasoning most often comes down to their religious beliefs- and if the basis of outlawing a medical procedure is one specific religious belief, is it not a violation of the free expression of other people's beliefs to deny them the ability to make decisions because of one specific belief system?
Opinions aside, it looks like a fundamental disregard for other religions and beliefs is at play here.
I don't think most pro-choice people are anti-natalists nor would they advocate for the death of people who have been born... the main reasoning seems to be women's access to healthcare, privacy, not criminalizing the decision of people seeking a procedure based on moral judgements built on spiritual beliefs, protecting people from collateral criminalization relating to miscarriages, and preventing needless mortality in pregnancy-related issues.
