The word Fetus does not prove or mean it's not a Human.

a friend kept repeating to me a phrase to this effect: "it's Fetus, NOT a person."

i pointed out in response that the terms "Fetus" and "person" are no more mutually exlusive than the terms "adolescent" and "person", or "adult" and "person".

The term "Fetus", like "adolescent" and "adult", refers to the stage of developement of a person, NOT to the absence of personhood.

What was your friends reaction to that point? Over the years when I have pointed out the stage of Human development argument people then refuse to talk about it anymore!

The word foetus means: little man or small man.
