Wow. I don't think I've ever quite seen anyone dehumanize women to the point of calling them a "clump of cells" and equating their status in the word with a fetus. I've seen people make arguments that treat women like children, but this is a pretty impressive new level of extreme.

It's also disingenuous to imply that the effects of pregnancy and childbirth are an isolable 9-month period, but I've never observed much interest from some sides in how unwanted pregnancy has lasting impact on the lives of women, so I'm not surprised if you honestly think your comparison is meaningful.
