You can, but in this case, the decision to make foetus' legally people was so hastily and poorly thought out that they didn't make any of those provisions. There absolutely could be exceptions in cases like this since the foetus cannot be separated from its mother and the like, but there aren't, and so legally it can be treated as if the foetus is the same a born child.
