I am pro-choice and I see it this way:
In California, if you miscarry after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a fetal death certificate is required. In this circumstance, you must name the baby and make arrangements for "disposal of the remains" via cremation or burial. Given those requirements, I can see the legality of charging someone who kills a woman who is pregnant beyond 20 weeks with murder of the fetus as well.
