The notion that abortion is muder is predicated on a BELIEF that is not 
universal.  Making any laws which proscribe any abortion practices is 
tantamount to the state dictating morality based on one belief system in 
direct opposition to another.  That is exactly what the founders were 
trying to prevent with the establishment clause.

By the way, the same is true of laws which prevent Native Americans from 
using peyote in traditional rituals.
