Can we give criminals less harsh punishments if their actions result in the death of an unborn child regardless if the woman intends to keep their child or abort it?

That really depends on where you live. Some places treat it as double-homicide, others treat it like PBusted said.

Personally, I'm mixed on how I feel about it. Legislation introduced to make it a double-homicide is often also used to erode abortion rights. On the other, I completely understand it feeling like a double-homicide to the people who wanted that pregnancy. It also robs the mother of her choice in the matter.
