Laws on unborn children
I have heard that in some states to intentionally cause a woman to have a miscarriage you can be charged with murder. I was wondering which states have it and when in the course of the pregnancy do those states consider this an option?

Re: Laws on unborn children
It is not your choice to terminate another's pregnancy. It would likely (hopefully) be a criminal act in any jurisdiction.
To your second query of "when in the course of the pregnancy ... [is] this an option?" It is NEVER an option to cause the death of another's unborn child.
If you have been considering this, I recommend you immediately seek emotional and mental counseling.
