It skips the whole emotional thing. It reads like someone who's either completely emotionally out of touch, or is intentionally downplaying the emotional aspect here. Quite possibly both.
While it's technically true that fetuses aren't "people" in most practical senses, that doesn't mean it can die and you'll just go "aw shucks, oh well then" and try again tomorrow.
It stems from the rationalizations people make for abortion. It's just a clump of cells, it's no big deal, etc. Now they cannot fathom someone being distressed over such a "little" thing.
