So what then did that undeveloped embryos in the womb become?

It became a baby. In the same way that an acorn can become an oak tree....while an acorn is not an oak tree, and an oak tree is not an acorn.

This is always a source of different viewpoints in the abortion debate - a difference of opinion over whether the fact that an embryo can develop into a baby means that the embryo is a baby. Many (most?) supporters of abortion rights will argue that the answer is no: that just like an apple seed is not an apple tree, an embryo is not a baby.
