No it's not. It's hyperbolic rhretoric. "Being a brood-mare for the state" would be accurate if you were punished if you didn't give birth a certain number of children (Romania in the 1980s) or if you were forcibly inseminated by the state.
Pregnancy is also different from organ donation in that you are not being asked to do something that is out of bounds for your body to do. The uterus has evolved to nourish and shelter embryos, that is it's normal function.
The only valid argument for legal abortion is that pregnancy always comes with a medical risk, and that no person should be required to risk their life for someone else, even if that someone is their own off-spring.
The "you were responsible for creating that child" argument is nothing more than an attempt to shame women for having sex.
There is no birth control method that has a 100 % success rate. That means that every single time you consent to intercourse (not sex, intercourse) you are taking the risk of getting pregnant. There is no getting around this.
In the "sickly violinist"-example that I'm sure you're thinking of, the narrator had been kidnapped at while she was asleep. Aborting an offspring - child - that you willingly conceived would be akin to her hunting down the violinist and performing a procedure that had a 10% chance of hooking him up to her.
