Because insects, as far as we know, do not develop into sapient beings. The baby, on the other hand, does. By killing the baby, you are killing potential. You are destroying 70+ years of life, a completely original story, which will now never be told. It's quite amazing how much potential is destroyed in an abortion when you think about it. Dozens of friendships no longer possible, years of happiness (or maybe sadness, who knows?) perhaps children and grandchildren all destroyed in a few moments. When you look at it, abortion is an act of ultimate selfishness. You are choosing your comfort over someone else's life, not to mention whatever lives the baby could have begotten.
