Face it, that's just semantics to convince people there is no problem killing their kids before they are born. The only difference what the mother wants. If she plans to give birth it's a baby developing inside her. If she plans to abort mission, it's just a fetus and clump of cells, which makes the decision more palatable. Have you seen babies at various stages of development before birth. I was at the smithsonian and they have jars of fetuses at every couple weeks of development. I've also seen pictures of the aborted babies. They all have everything that looks like a miniature human. I will not post them here out of respect, but you should look at some pictures.
