Well, in the first case--involuntarily losing a child--is it the fetus that's being violated? I don't know anything about the law in question, but it seems entirely possible to argue against 'causing a woman to involuntarily lose her child' purely on the grounds of violating the woman's rights. It's hard to imagine a situation where the woman involuntarily loses her child due to someone else's actions without her being wronged in some fashion.
