No, they are not.

They are considered either an embryo or a fetus depending upon their stage of development.


No, he's right. For the purposes of the criminal statutes he is referencing, they are treated as a person.

The law is split on when a person is a person based upon who is killing it and when. The mother is held to be more equal than others and allowed to kill a person for mere convenience when that other person is very young. No one else can do so without facing criminal prosecution.
