What I wonder is:
This thing who's growing inside a woman - Is it an embryo or a human if the abortion is done before week 6 ?

Well strictly speaking it's a human embryo from the moment of conception on up to 8 weeks when they start calling it a human fetus so it's a human throughout its entire 9 month gestation.

On the other hand the six week mark doesn't seem to have any special significance in it's development at all. It would be an artificial cut-off point at best.
