I am well aware of the use of unreasonable search being the basis for abortion. The government said they would hide their eyes.
It doesn't matter and is not relevant to the Texas law. The Texas law simply states that you must check for a heartbeat first and if there is one you cannot abort without it being considered murder. It is established precedent that the states can decide at which point the baby is a human being and it has always been acceptable that that date is well before the day the baby is born. Also, they aren't making this a criminal complaint, it is a civil complaint. Those involved in the abortion can be sued for malpractice.
Second, it was the Satanist temple that said that abortion is a sacred rite for their religious practice of worshipping Satan. That argument would make the Roe V Wade ruling unconstitutional. The Supreme court has no authority over religious issues. Also to say that Texas can't outlaw it because of that is idiotic. Many states have had blue laws, many states outlaw polygamy even though it is part of the Mormon practice.

In Texas(and many other states) the unborn child is considered alive at "every stage of gestation from fertilization until birth". For instance if an person murders a pregnant women(at any stage of pregnancy) it is double homicide. (it's about 3/4 down the page) https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.1.htm#1.07
