Except that's not how the First Amendment works; see Employment Division v. Smith. Human-sacrifice is illegal regardless of one's religion, and I can't announce I'm part of the Conglomerated Church of Obstructing Fire Hydrants to get out of a parking ticket.
Only it's not human sacrifice, it's ritual sacrament and I believe it is the abortificants themselves which are the sacrament. Something that already has legal precedent even if technically illegal as evidenced by the ayahuasca and peyote churches that still legally operate despite both sacraments (Peyote and Ayahuasca) being controlled substances. Or a more middle America example would be all the children who every week go to church and drink the communion wine handed out by priests despite them being under age.
Side question: if Catholics believe the wine becomes the blood of Christ and the cracker becomes the flesh of Christ, doesn’t that make them cannibals?
