We’re talking about biology and whether an acorn is an oak tree. It isn’t.
Neither is a fertilized human ovum, not implanted in the uterine wall, a human being. It’s a human seed. Men like to call their sperm seed but they aren’t. They’re pollen. The seed is created when the sperm unite with the egg.
And human seeds are not human beings.
A fertilized human ovum, not implanted in the uterine wall is not a pregnancy.

A fertilized egg is alive, just as an unfertilized egg and separate sperm are each alive. But it takes implantation for the life process of growing and developing to occur.

It’s completely a continuum. Life doesn’t have a moment where the life of an embryo begins. Because it’s been alive all along. So we need to determine where legally life begins for the purpose of legal protection.
