Ok I'll play along- and assume for the sake of the game that this story was actually fact-checked... My guess is it's to comply with the law. I seem to recall a few years back they passed a law which says that if you kill a pregnant woman it counts as a double homicide. This way when Turd Nugent or one of his fanboys shoots up a White House tour group, they'll know how many murders to charge him with should he be taken alive.

It's a rule for registering for White House tours. If a woman is pregnant and likely to deliver before her appointment to tour the White House, she needs to register her infant as an infant.
It has absolutely nothing to do with registering women who are still pregnant as two separate individuals. Nor does it have anything to do with any "personhood" nonsense. What it does is ensure that a woman walking in with her baby won't be suspected of carrying a doll loaded with explosives and subjected to a search of the unregistered infant. Pregnant women are registered as one person.
