Isn't arguing that abortion hurts women akin to saying abortion is wrong?

The reasoning process might go something like this: "Abortion hurts women --> Hurting women is wrong --> Abortion is wrong."

Morality still enters the picture.

Abortion hurts women --> Abortion hurts me or a woman I love --> Hurting feels bad --> Feeling bad makes me feel unhappy --> Unhappiness is bad --> Abortion is bad.

No morality. Purely hedonistic.
