Does the unborn child have a legal claim on the mother to provide the necessities of life? Consider a law that forced a sibling to donate a kidney or even one that compelled someone to be a blood donor.

The fact that the person being coerced is the mother of the beneficiary does not change this calculus. When does something become a life. Or a legal life?
Responsibility to a human life created by your own actions? Immorality an illegaity do not have a one to one relationship.
