Of course you could argue that a foetus is not a human being, but only potentially so, but that would cover one right up to the moment of birth, and nobody, as far as I know, uses it in that way.

John, that is dangerous nonsense. Abortion is performed for many different and valid reasons on individuals, case by case and with their consent. There is no way that any decent person could describe it as "the planned extermination of a group". Shame on you.
