Intentionally misleading. They are either embryos or fetuses at the time of an abortion.
This is such a pathetically stupid talking point. Fetus, baby, toddler, adolescent, adult, etc, all are just more specific names for the same organism at different times of life. But it is fair and normal to call a fetus a baby. Everyone does it, doctors and nurses included (we call it baby all the time, even at 5 weeks). But somehow in the context of abortion calling it a baby is misleading.

Well, the usage in the other instances you mentioned is simply informal (but not technically correct).
In discussing abortion, the developmental differences are the crux of the argument, and the term baby is used incorrectly on purpose.
