The fetus was intended to fully develop into a baby.
Hence when a mother has a miscarriage, which is defined as the
spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus before it is viable, it is quite
logical to offer condolences on the loss of a child.
One is not offering condolences for the loss of the fetus, one is
offering condolences for the loss of the potential for child.
This is not logically related, nor can it be compared to intentionally
aborting a fetus.

There is also a double standard here, when some people
argue for abortion, they claim that the fetus is not a child, but then
when
they get the news that their sister/cousin/friend just had a
miscarriage,
they rush over to confort them when they lost their baby. If it's not a
baby, you should tell them on the phone, "hey, toughen up. It's not a
baby,
it's just a collection of cells" yeah, right.
