What do you think about two people who break up while the woman is pregnant?

because I don't think it will DURING THE PREGNANCY.

Over time, sure. But by then, the baby has been potentially affected.

So, a husband who cheats on a pregnant wife, or leaves her, could fall into that category and he would really be harming his baby.

Exactly - grief stress. Wish more people knew about this and were prepared to prevent it or minimize it.

As a couple?
The man?
The woman?

Is their any difference in how you see the individuals based upon their gender?

It happens.

Well, that's at the crux of these threads, really. Unplanned pregnancies usually don't leave room for that kind of planning. I support free BC for all. Our society should really embrace it.

Nah I just hope Nature takes care of itself and I die before them. I don't have much in favour though, since I don't smoke, drink or eat lots of processed food.

You could, instead, experience joy while you're here instead of apathy. If you were interested of course. Imo, this kind of thing could just be your physiology and who knows how it would go if you started tinkering around with it.
