Well, you can't officially have a name unless you have a birth certificate. And you can't have a birth certificate if you haven't been born. So, I guess technically, "fetus" is the proper term in this case. All of your logic is immaterial as we are dealing with feminist word games here. Per feminists, a baby is a baby only if it's mother wants it. If the mother does not want the baby, it is a lump of cells and called a fetus.

I like that. Boy, I wish I could shape reality and the laws of logic in daily life. Sometimes it would be convenient if 2 + 2 = 10.

As my dictionary puts it: "fetus (noun) - In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after conception to the moment of birth, as distinguished from the earlier embryo."
