I see NO difference between late term abortions and the Connecticut massacre.

Your analysis is to make "political" points ...
..... this tragedy should not be used politically, except to make "political" decisions as to how better to protect children in schools and the staff who are there to teach them. THose decisions need to be made quickly, but with serious analytical discourse without people pushing an "agenda" and using the tragedy to score political points.
We need for children to feel safe when they HAVE to leave the safety of their homes (already traumatic for them) and to have their family feel they are safe when the drop them off or send them off to the bus for school .... and NOT JUST FEEL ... but BE SAFE.
The truth is that Columbine presented an opportunity for all schools to establish procedures and install equipment to provide a level of protection with appropriately trained LE personnel to be present to monitor the procedures and equipment and respond to any breaches or threats BEFORE it happens ....
.. it is called "proactive" or "community" policing.
