While that's surprising, that doesn't quite contradict my point: a firearm has greater leverage.

The main point is that while almost everyone will agree that murder of humans is undesirable, not everyone will agree that abortion is murder (_even_ in the United States), which means that it is not categorically clear that the outcome of abortion is a negative one, while it is clear that the outcome of a shooting is a negative one, and therefore there is a stronger public interest case in applying commercial pressure to sales.
