It’s garbage actually. Murdering children in the womb is bad, but so is the OP argument for pro-life. Appealing to emotions is always the start of a poor and fallacious argument.

I don't think that's necessarily the case; many [most?] effective persuasive-style discussions hit all three of the appeals: Appeal to emotion, appeal to logic/rationality, and appeal to morals/ethics.
