Except criminal law. I want a robber/rapist who shoots or hurts a pregnant woman to be liable for every human being he hurts in the act.

In other words you want the embryo given personhood.

No. Call the embryo a person in law for any reason and you have created precedence for all the other reasons.

It’s unnecessary given you can make “additional harm” clauses for pregnant women without claiming the embryo is a person - a human being who was also hurt.
