Few things are black and white, but I have trouble imagining a worldview in which abortion is nauseating, yet not immoral. (Unless you mean that it's nauseating like an appendectomy.)
The fallacy of this anti-choice position is the attempt to impose the morality of "life begins at conception" as the only valid moral position.
