Does God allow pregnant women to be ripped apart?


Yes

Sometimes pregnant woment are ripped up to punish those who rebel against him.

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. Hosea 13:16

And sometimes the Bible just reports these incidents without comment.

Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up. 2 Kings 15:16

No

God punished the Ammonites for ripping up the pregnant women of Gilead.

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border. Amos 1:3
