The discussion of abortion is about the personhood of various forms of human life. Sorry, you don't get to set the terms of the discussion, you only get to set your own opinion. Personhood is vaguely defined and can apply to such things as corporations. The fetus is a human being, just at a very early stage of development. For a broad definition of child (and human not yet mature, or under 18 or whatever) it is a human child. For a broad definition of baby (up to some particular age when the human is no longer considered a baby) it is a human baby. For narrow definitions of each, considering each just to be a well defined point of development with beginning points and and end point, it isn't either, its an earlier stage, just as infancy is an earlier stage than adolescence. Human life but without Rights. Without generally legally recognized rights, but with rights.
