This is a dark side of the pro-life position. If fetii have the full rights of individuals, and their full protection by The State, then pregnant women become wards of The State. If this woman can rightly be charged with murder, then who can stop The State from forcing her to eat vegetables, or exercising, or quitting smoking, or ... ? After all, the fetus has rights, and those rights must be protected. Does the pro-life position really want to go there, seeing how eagerly The State uses powers it gets?

Take it a step further:

If you are found to be a perfect match to someone who needs a kidney transplant but you refuse. If that person dies, can you be charged with murder?

Lots here to think about.
