I'm glad this line of thinking about the tension between abortion bans and the First Amendment's Establishment Clause is getting aired. I remain astonished that it has not been more fully developed in legal scholarship.https://nyti.ms/2HN3XnO

In the eyes of evangelicals yes. At least according to the ones I know

1). Bodily autonomy is a thing. There are many cases where killing a human is permissible in law. Self defense seems relevant here. 2&3) Setting that aside, the "line" of humanity cannot be theologically derived. You' need a secular argument for why an embryo is a person.

Re: 1, we already have laws against killing humans AND we have a government. We also have laws FOR killing humans, i.e. death penalty, self-defense, whatever laws corrupt police officers use to get away with killing unarmed people, rules of war, etc...

Uhm, that doesn’t answer Tom’s question. “Don’t kill” assumes a packet of cells is personhood. Most of the country disagrees.

Every time you start from "this is killing humans," you've ended the discussion. That means no abortion, never, no exceptions. There's no debate. I respect that consistency, but I don't agree with it.

This is basically "America should be pre-2019 Ireland," and that, to me, is a religious proposition.

So we force women to give birth to children only to see them gunned down in the prime of their lives? Why are we not trying to do gun control on the same level as we try to control abortion for women? Answer not necessary, it wasn't really a question.

There are only 3 options: 1. No one is allowed to kill anyone. 2. Anyone is allowed to kill anyone. 3. Some people are allowed to kill some people. I prefer option #1. That can be supported with logic. Religion is not necessary to argue that killing is wrong.
