That was my initial thought. And if that isn’t what he was actually attempting, I bet it becomes his defense.

Depending on the age of the fetus it won't be much defense. I think even when a fetus can be aborted legally he'd have no defense because it would've been forced and treated no differently than a stranger harming a pregnant woman and fetus. He'd have to claim that she drank an abortifacient herself without his knowledge and get the jury to believe it. As high profile as his father is in this state, I don't think they'd bring charges if there was any evidence to support that.
