There's a bunch of things being conflated

1) Nobody is saying that all proponents of pro-life are bigots or are consciously aware of any misogynistic bias. Such bias is unconscious.

We live in a patriarchal society. Certain people benefit from this in explicit terms and are aware of this. These people, I suspect, are religious officials and elected politicians, as well as (potentially) business executives. People in power seek to remain in power; this is why progressive outlooks and revolutionary thinking are scary to them. To stay in
power, these people condition the rest of the populace to think a certain way. In other words, Bob and Jill from Alabama might not wish to subjugate women, but they do express political views that further the patriarchal objectives.

"Life is precious" is a form of conditioning that leads people to reject abortion without explicitly confronting the misogynistic undertones behind pro-life stances. It's a simple mantra that seems unpolitical even if the discussion for the past several decades has historically been rooted in political and religious agenda.

If you are pro-life you are complicit in patriarchy whether you realize it or not.

2) Women being pro-life means nothing w/r/t to this discussion because, as mentioned above, misogyny can be internalized. "Women should stop being sluts, I will never need an abortion because I am chaste." ---- she says until she accidentally gets pregnant. It is well-documented that these women will view their own unwanted pregnancy as an exceptional case that does not contradict her held beliefs (which prevents cognitive dissonance). Numerous women in the Kavanaugh case called Blasey-Ford a liar and that sexual assault as a political issue was artificially inflated by liberals. Numerous women were anti-LGBT until either they or a loved one came out. Does that make these issues any less about gender and oppression?

No, both genders are complicit in upholding patriarchal beliefs.

3) No one is denying the religious experience. Religion holds valuable function in social outreach and community engagement. We are suggesting that religion is no longer needed in a modern system of morality and that religious appeals to pro-life stances should categorically be disregarded. "Thou shalt not kill" is an axiom that emerged from the Old Testament, we can't deny that. But "thou shalt not kill" is not a moral precept because it's in the Bible, it's a moral precept because it allows society to function and increases the quality of life for everyone. You can justify this commandment outside of its function in the Bible.

An appeal to religion only works if you can demonstrate that the stance you take is worthy outside of the dogma of religion. "God says that life is precious because He created us" is not a valid argument because it holds no water outside of the dogma of Abrahamic faith.
