Can you square the application of this to unborn children with the punishment decreed for harming a pregnant woman causing injury to the baby?

What's to square?

Ummm, harming a woman causing her to miscarry incurs only a monetary fine if the WOMAN is not harmed or killed.

If you see that as consistent with treating harming an unborn child as a 'killing' then I'm not sure you know what 'consistent' means.
