My take-away from the OP is that the poster now understands that abortion is a moral and political issue. The biological facts are what they are. A fetus is a human being. The legal status, value, and potential rights of that human being are the subjects of debate - not the biology .Biologically, a fetus is a distinct organism (body) from the mother despite the fact that it is dependent upon her. So your point is moot.
That said, I agree that 'when life begins' (it began hundreds of millions of years ago and has continued unbroken since) and personhood are not the relevant issues. The relevant issue is whether the fetus has rights that trump the bodily autonomy of the mother.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
