(By the way, the media is also MASSIVELY guilty on this score. Most stories about abortion are illustrated with stock photos of enormous headless bellies. Bellies far beyond the point that 98% of abortions actually occur. Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada provides some more appropriate stock photos here.)
Have a look at the current or recent offerings in the genre.
deBeuaxOs points out:
The pregnant women are featureless incubators, whose human rights are secondary to the *personhood* rights that Blob Blogging Whinge-Nut SUZANNE and other assorted lobbyists for The Fetus©™ would shove down the throat of the majority of Canadians who believe that the current manner of administering abortion works well.Our sharp-eyed commenters had more to say.
The fetuses look like one-month-old infants, not the *preborn* that the lying liars are always yammering about.

I think #2 is the independent, single, career woman whose partner's condom broke (and is at risk of taking the pill because of her age). But she should be punished nonetheless for failing to give her womb to the man and woman marriage cause, especially when her eggs where in their prime and many babies could have followed to fill that empty quiver.

I'm with BY on this one. I can't help but notice that the middle one with the terrified child is the only woman wearing pants.
Have a look at a few more.
And one I just ran into at the Facebook page for Pass 312, the Pray 'n' Phone nutters.
Yet fetus fetishists go insane over 'vulgar, disgusting images' like this.
Well, they would, wouldn't they? Fun, creative, pretty vaginas -- WITH HEADS AND FACES AND OWNERS AND OPINIONS! SHRIEEEEEK!
We at DAMMIT are starting a collection of headless and/or featureless pregnant belly pictures. If you've got a fave, leave a link in the comments.
