It's us code 1841. I can't link to it right now.
I suppose you missed section C of that law. Funny things happen when you actually read what the law says. The law basically states that the death of a fetus can be punished as a murder, but only if the act was committed by anyone but the mother.
18 U.S. Code § 1841
(c)Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit the prosecution—
(1)
of any person for conduct relating to an abortion for which the consent of the pregnant woman, or a person authorized by law to act on her behalf, has been obtained or for which such consent is implied by law;
(2)
of any person for any medical treatment of the pregnant woman or her unborn child; or
(3)
of any woman with respect to her unborn child.
