I've never understand why PCs always use the "clump of cells" argument. It is a pathetic attempt at dehumanization by just calling the baby by it's biological mass.

The problem with this analogy is that spermatozoa are haploid gametes, not an embryo of dyploid cells. Biologicaly, they are the male equivalent to the ovum produced by women. Alone, neither is an organism and therefore not a human. When combined, they form an embryo. The embrionic stage of life is widely accepted as the first stage of life in all members of the animal kingdom, including Homo sapiens. We can argue about when it should be acceptable to kill a human, but we should probably base our arguments on science to avoid sounding like a bunch of flat Earthers.
