Yes it is, because it requires violating the rights of others to achieve. It inherently denies rights, freedoms and choices, and unironically is the only actual murder happening. Abortion bans kill both children and adults. Its self-proclaimed ethical basis is irrelevant; plenty of acts are inherently authoritarian despite being based on some moral principle or another. Revolutions are inherently authoritarian acts, for example. So is opposing abortion.
"Revolutions are inherently authoritarian" is not a take I thought I'd ever read lol
