There is a belief that cut nails can cause a miscarriage in a pregnant woman who steps on them. I don’t know if this is a genuinely-based mesorah, or a bubbah meisa, but you ARE supposed to flush them down the toilet and do negel vasser after you cut them. So the answer would be, if throwing nails on the floor could potentially cause a miscarriage, yes it would be the act of a rasha who cares nothing for others.
