I don't think this will convince people who believe in abstinence. The argument isn't perfect anyway, because if you have consensual PIV sex you know that pregnancy is a possible outcome whereas in your example it's completely random.
Even people who believe in abstinence can be raped/sewn to some dude without their consent. It's true, it isn't perfect because ultimately I do believe abortion should be provided without a reason needed. But this was for people who are total pro life absolutists, and in the end I don't think it actually convinced them to soften their stances anyway. They rarely have arrived to that belief by logic or whatever, so trying to convince them is kinda pointless.
I think a modification that would make sense is that you were at fault in a car accident with the violinist, so the state decided you will be forced to be hooked up to them for 9 months.
We don't even make people give away their blood which comes back to 100%, so I feel like it's at least the same legally. Giving blood is no where near as big a deal as pregnancy with all the ways that can go wrong.

the violinist thing is way closer to rape than consensual sex
