Bob probably doesn't have an answer because he never actually thought about it. I wouldn't be shocked if Bob only supports abortion because his "friends" so to speak do. Like you said, most of his defense of it is just baseless rhetoric. He probably has no set belief for what constitutes a human being, he's just using that line because it sounds good.
Considering however his opinions on people who disagree with him and his views on evolution, the answer could easily be that he thinks only people who are on his side are full human beings. The other side are the "improperly evolved" who shouldn't even be considered apart of the same species.
Basically, for the circles Bob is currying, his position on abortion is the safest one imaginable. "Whenever you want it ladies! It's an undistinguished clump of cells, even when it's capable of crying out in pain! Why, as long as the umbilical cord is attached, you can do whatever you want with it, even stuff it into a food processor! Murder statutes that count unborn fetuses as victims? INSANE GOD-BOTHERING PROPAGANDA, FRIENDO! Will one of you ladies pleeeeeease give me a handy?"
