This will never fly. The Constitution disallows the govt from establishing religion. The vast majority of people don't agree with the religious "moment of conception" argument. On the other hand, many non-religous people don't like legal baby killing at 8.9 months or whatever. At some point I think the Supreme court will just rule that abortions are legal up to X weeks but not based on "viability" because then that just becomes the new disputed point.
This will be similar to defining age of adult at 18. It is a somewhat arbitrary number that is both too young and too old depending on the context but for legal issues we have to draw a line somewhere. This is an element of common law tradition, BTW.
It is NOT unconstitional, it is now up to the state legislators to decide.
What is going to happen now and is already happening is that women will cross state lines to get abortions. Some state will arrest them on return and charge them with murder and then the Supreme Court will have to weigh in on the legality of that. That is the basis of what I wrote.

Thats literally how we used to have it but Trumps justices thankfully made abortion unconstitutional.
