Point 2: It's already a criminal offence to attack a woman (actually, anyone regardless of gender). Whether you attack a person, or attack them with the intent of killing their unborn child, you're still attacking them at the heart of it.
I'm surprised no one brought these up already.
Some people would consider parenting a form of jail sentence, anyways.

That is a good point. And lets acknowledge that the reason the Conservative government introduced the unborn fetus law was to slowly introduce legislation that will give the fetus legal status and subsequently make abortions illegal.
