I do believe that this is the only part that’s about the hypothetical child. Too often, a child is considered to be the property of the father, which is why some believe it should be given a higher priority than the mother. She is only seen as a “vessel” who carries and delivers it. IMO, these cases just look like attempts to punish women for damaging or destroying the property (or potential property) of a man. This is why we see situations where they bend over backwards to ensure the health of the child, even if it’s likely the mother will die as a result of their actions.
