Let me point out the problem with the above quote. You have to admit that to say "but with time it might get there" is a very weird comment because it's f.ucking obvious that given time it will 'get there'. So what are you saying.
However if you take the position that 2 cells are not a person but a 9 month old fetus is a person, then you have to say where do you draw the line. If two cells are not a person then adding a single cell is not going to turn 'not a person' into a 'person'. We can play this game on and on. So it's best just to go with the legal definition which might be for example 3 months.
Once we have that then by your own admission (that there IS a point somewhere where the fetus is not a person) this 3 month old fetus is not a person. Then we come to the fact that it's men talking about a woman's body (yet again). You say 'I do not like abortions' as if you are the one who is going to make the decision for the woman based on your likes and dislikes. This exactly what the problem with the world is, men treating women as their chattel, as if men make the decisions for women.
However men mostly don't want to get a vasectomy but they also don't want to bother with condoms, and then they want to make decisions about a woman's body that's really none of their business. How incredibly generous you are to 'allow' women to have an abortion if their life is in danger.
It's better to abort an unwanted fetus than to force an unwanted child onto a mother who does not want it. Let her have a baby when she wants it as it will then get the love and attention it needs and deserves. In the end we have a more equitable society and criminality is reduced because less unwanted children are born and more children that are born *are* wanted.
Men forcing unwanted children onto women is just a pathetic control mechanism and they use either bs or the bible (or both) to justify it.
