Wow. I don't even know what to say here. In some ways I can support the use of "we," since we accept that cancer and addictions and so forth impact more than the person with cancer or an addiction. Having one's fetus aborted, whether one is the mother or the father, could be considered the same kind of thing. The political leverage here aside, I don't know that another parallel example--"we were raped" from a man whose girlfriend or wife was attacked--would work.
But I dunno, really. I sure don't like the idea of someone horning in on an experience that they could not physically share, especially if it's in some effort to ban abortions.
