They could either be charged under the laws preventing abortion (since inducing miscarriage is basically an abortion) or under the murder laws, whichever is appropriate.
No, I'm not talking about a morning after pill, I'm talking about a standard miscarriage. For example something like these examples:

- Mother smokes during pregnancy. Smoking increases the chance of miscarriage(I think by a lot, but I'm not sure on that). She has a miscarriage. Murder?
- Mother has unprotected sex, and gets chlamydia. Chlamydia causes miscarriage. Murder?
- Mother is a cocaine addict. Cocaine greatly increases the chance of a miscarriage. Murder?

Logically, all of these should AT LEAST be manslaughter if you decide that human life begins legally at conception. Is that really what we want?

Also, consider how you would go about investigating these things. If there is any point at all in such a law, you would have to count about every miscarriage as a possible murder. Sounds jolly.
