Kill her & unborn maliciously and premeditated?
Kill her & unborn maliciously but not premeditated?
Kill her & unborn because as a driver on illicit drugs & alcohol you pass out and run over her?
Kill her & unborn because as a driver you had a heart attack at the wheel and unintentionally run over her?
Kill her & unborn in justifiable self-defence because she was a violent ice-addict who directly and intentionally
presented as an imminent threat to your life?

Not all those acts of 'killing' a pregnant woman are necessarily deemed as criminal or heinous,( or as) heinous
