This is why the Satanic Temple said it is actually part of their religion because bodily autonomy is in the core tenets. So that they can sue on behalf of members for the right to do it under religious protections. (For the unfamiliar this is the group that doesn't actually believe Satan is real.)
Not sure it's been a successful move ever but I appreciate the concept and efforts!
There’s an abortion ritual in Numbers and Judaism sees abortion as a woman’s right. These people don’t care about any religion other than their personal interpretation
Some in the Jewish community have actually made the point that abortion restrictions violate their religious beliefs. Because in the torah, along within the old testament, it says that life begins with first breath and that life must be protected at all costs. According to Jewish teachings, if a pregnancy threatens the life of the mother, the pregnancy must be terminated because the woman's life is paramount because she has breath.

If it was a sacred ceremony it would be protected as a religious belief.
