“I doubt that a charge of murder would stick. Not that it shouldn’t, you understand. As we are all aware of by now, we have arrived at a point in time in this country where the aborting of an unborn child, whether by design, accident or assault, is not considered to be a big deal.”
Surprising this is wrong. While it is, indeed, intellectually inconsistent, it’s still murder to kill an unborn baby, outside the abortion procedure.
This is also true under federal law:
Unborn Victims of Violence Act

I can predict two possible outcomes here and I know that I’ll sound cynical making those predictions. (1) If race and/or ethnicity are a factor (and they’ll never be mentioned), nothing will be done and it will be deemed an accident. Further, they will say that the teacher shouldn’t have interfered and should have called security. (2) If race and/or ethnicity are not a factor, they’ll have the book thrown at them and will do jail time.
