feticide
Ending unborn life
Feticide is the killing of a fetus, whether through abortion, violence against a pregnant woman, or other means.
The term appears primarily in legal and medical contexts.
Some jurisdictions have feticide laws that treat harm to a fetus as a separate crime from harm to the mother: He was charged with murder and feticide.
