Unlikely, I'm not sure what silly, simplistic narrative or interpretation that's based on to begin with, but in practice, that's only the tip of the iceberg.
If anything, I'd venture that newer forms of media will ultimately have a more deceive effect on future attitudes toward abortion, rather than the archaic, dinosaur rhetoric which you seem so heavily infatuated with, not even honest or informed enough to outline the complex history of abortion laws and attitudes, in favor of your own childish slogans and catchphrases, which would be "cute" were they not so pathetic, honestly...
Actually, what I find when I talk to Anti-choice types, I find that they are pretty ignorant of the history of abortion.
Most abortion laws were not enacted because anyone had any massive concern about the "babies". They were about keeping women in their place. Women were never punished for having them, and doctors were rarely punished for performing them.
Then the Courts realized that these archaic, unenforced laws were routinely being ignored by women and doctors, they struck them down and that kind of should have been the end of the matter. Sure, the Catholics would have still told women to say "Hail Marys" for having them, but no one else really cared.
Until the Christian Right needed an issue to glom onto after they lost the debate on segregation.
