Even worse potentially is causing a miscarriage is potentially murder. Miscarriages can happen for all sorts of reasons, some of which a person has no reasonable expectation that it'd cause one. That could still be at least third degree manslaughter though, if not worse. Fetal personhood is a huge can of worms that shouldn't be touched. Way to go Alabama...
