First of all, in the first trimester its not a fetus, its still in the embryonic stages. If you want to split hairs, for clinical purposes, it is an embryo for the first eight weeks, at which time it becomes a fetus. So, well before the end of the first trimester it is a fetus for clinical purposes. HHS refers to it as a fetus on fertilization. Hey, the important point here is that you are much more concerned about the fu*king fauna, flora and caribou in the muddy, frozen tundra called ANWR than you are unborn fetuses, embryos, or whatever. Without regard for your religious point of view, this represents a convoluted sensibility by any measure.
