Yes, you are. The position that abortions should be banned is nothing less than telling people what to do under penalty of criminal enforcement. You don't have to know anything, at all, about the reasons a person might have an abortion to understand this. No matter what their reasons, and no matter what you feel about those reasons, it remains a fact that banning abortion only increases the number of victims and misery.
If your goal and motivation, if your justification for such a position is the reduction of harm to people, then banning abortion is flatly counterproductive to that goal. It shouldn't take ten years to understand this, and it has nothing to do with atheism.
