If "anti-abortion businesses" are about "pressuring people..." by merely providing an alternative to ending the life of an innocent human being then by implication "abortion businesses" would be about pressuring women to end the life. Of course I know you'd contest that, but that's because of an inconsistency. Even if you disagree with the pro-life view that all humans have a right to life, which is what supporting abortion necessarily implies, you still cannot reasonably say that providing mothers with support is a bad thing.

If "anti-abortion businesses" are about "pressuring people..." by merely providing an alternative to ending the life of an innocent human being then by implication "abortion businesses" would be about pressuring women to end the life. That's not implied at all. That's what you want it to imply because your stance requires that this be true. But these are "clinics that provide abortion" as well as other reproductive healthcare. I am curious how many places exist solely to provide abortion and nothing else? I can't imagine it's very many, if any at all. So, already your equivalence falls apart, as there isn't an equivalent to these anti-abortion businesses. Secondly, these clinics are about providing options, just like if you are concerned about treatments for any other issues, from the serious to the minor. My doctor may provide recommendations, but they aren't going to pressure me into something unless they think it's critical to my health. And you do have situations like ectopic pregnancies where an "abortion" would be pushed hard because it's a non-viable pregnancy and it could easily kill the woman in question if nothing was done. Because again, it's about healthcare.
