You're right - that isn't adversarial at all. That is clearly a statement which is going to help work toward minimizing a real and unpleasant problem. And it has absolutely nothing to do with abortion at all, even though that turn of phrase would be very much at home in pretty much any Pro-Life organization's pamphlet.
(You can make that argument, but it is a qualitatively different position than US law - US law does use the concept of viability, and it was the centerpiece of Roe v. Wade. My comparison stands.)
