Too bad for you in America we believe
this sucker!
5:11 comes from Jewish law in numbers, something Jesus brought to an end.
..So yeah he and the people you're talking to agree with you there.

Matthew 5:17-18, Jesus says, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Jesus does not say no part of the law will ever pass away; he says no part of it shall pass away until
it is fulfilled, and he says he came to do this very thing, to fulfill it. So, with his coming, the law has been fulfilled and has passed away.
We now live under the law of Christ, not beneath the law of Moses.
The reason 5:11 doesnt really hold up against pro lifers is because in the USA they claim that by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior a Christian is freed from any obligation to obey God’s law but left us with a warning to follow the 10 comandments:

“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19).

one of which is about not killing.
so it's all about how we define killing/person/life/individual/etc
