There is no life lost in an abortion. The potential for life is ended. Life, as we know it, does not begin at conception. Until the fetus is capable of surviving outside the womb, it is not a life.
There is no funeral, no period of mourning. If a woman suffers a miscarriage she isn't given bereavement leave, and is expected to return to work the next day as if nothing has happened. No one mourns the loss, save its mother.
When people are shot and killed, lives are ended. Families are torn apart. There is real suffering. Children may lose a parent which profoundly impacts the rest of their lives. The two events are in no way equal.
