pro-lifers don't accept a fetus as a part of a woman's body, so would reject the notion that matthew 18:8 applies to a fetus.

There's an old testament passage that specifies the punishment for harming a woman in a way that causes miscarriage. It is a lesser punishment than the punishment for causing a person's death, so at least the OT would not appear to view a fetus as equal to a human life.
