Technique Used
Activate Emotion
This is propaganda because
It targets a minority audience because they believe they are the common demographic of pregnant woman.
It also promotes pro-life idea that the heart starts beating at 18 days and that the developing fetus is a person who deserves to live rather than allowing the individual to develop their own solutions.

    I found this image harmful, as I see 50% of the other viewers agreed with. The other ranked it more on the harmful scale than not. I agree with your point that this seems to target a demographic they think they'll get the most response out of, but ends up looking like an attack. The promotion that a fetus or a heartbeat is a child comes across as an attack. This board didn't seem to appeal to the emotion of those already with a set stance.
