The problem we have in this debate is that regardless of state of mind, a human fetus is still human, and will never be anything but human. Calling it a clump of cells is easy enough, because a scab is a clump of cells, and why cares about tossing one of those out? However, the defining difference between a human embryo and a clump of cells is that, left to run it's course, a human enbryo will 100% of the time develop into a sentient human being, one that will be sentient and independent and garner experiences for itself. A clump of cells will not, ever.
