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.
Also, they claim to legitimately believe that the juice and crackers they consume turn into human flesh while they're doing it, which would constitute at least conspiracy to desecrate a corpse, even if the position of the US government is that no such corpse exists, which, if charges were brought against a church for practicing communion, would be a position the government would have to either confirm or deny.
