I'm actually pro-choice of the "safe, legal, and rare" variety, but the violinist example is a TERRIBLE steelman, because it is akin to rape, and IIRC rape accounts for less than 1% of all abortions.
Nearly all pregnant women have willingly made a choice that they know entails a risk of pregnancy--they do not simply wake up pregnant one morning through no actions of their own.
A more accurate comparison would be "a bunch of us were drunk last night and we drew straws to see who had to get hooked up to the sick violinist. I thought it was fun at the time, but now I'm wondering if I can back out."
