Yeah it wasn't intended to be a comprehensive survey of every jurisdiction, mainly because I can't be bothered. If you can find an example to the contrary, please let us know.

I know in blackstone's commentaries, aborting a quickened fetus was considered manslaughter, but that is 200+ year old common law. I don't think any US jurisdictions currently deal with the situation that way (causing a miscarraige = murder of fetus).
