Yes. The person would still get criminal battery, assault and attempted murder (actual murder if she dies) against the mother but ffs, there's a reason it's impossible in many if not most jurisdictions to actually try someone for murdering a fetus unless it's a baby that's taken its first breath. The question of 'when is a fetus a person rather than a pile of cells' has barely been settled in the public arena let alone the legal one.

There might be additional charges depending on which jurisdiction you're in and how far along the baby is. For instance in English and Welsh law, there's the offence of child destruction, though that's only applicable when the unborn child is deemed to have been capable of being born alive, so I guess it wouldn't apply in Lucretia's case (not a fan of the show but I'm guessing from what people are saying that she was at an early stage). It's a pretty unusual charge, but it's been used occasionally. There was a case in Wales a few years ago where a man raped and murdered a woman who was eight and a half months pregnant by stabbing her in the abdomen - he was charged with rape, murder and child destruction.
