This isn't a 1700s philosophy discussion. People aren't upset about this because of 'the element of deception'. It seems to me that someone playing a joke on a guy is very different from systematically trying to stop desperate people from exercising their right to bodily autonomy. Maybe that's just me though,

A closer example might be gun control activists running fake gun shops that sell fake guns and ammunition, possibly jiggered to endanger the user.
But crisis pregnancy centers don't perform fake abortions. It'd be more like a fake gun shop that didn't actually stock any guns, and instead just tried to talk anyone who showed up out of buying one.
