Abortions are rarely more elective than boob jobs. The obvious exception here is rape/incest, in which case the law needs to protect victims first. Unfortunately, the majority of abortions aren't intended to protect a victim as much as they are intended to protect an irresponsible behavior.
This situation is not in any way different than a group of Christian conservatives trying to pass into law their code of morality. All you've done is spun it under the guise of progressiveness and undermined the doctor's rights to be benefit of no one.
