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.
Here's a scenario.
An orphan 6 month old baby, in order to survive, needs to an adult act as a life support system for 9 months.
As it turns out, you are the only person that could be found that is genetically capable of fulfilling this role. You will have he same risks as a pregnant woman has.
Would you be okay with the government forcing you to act as life support for this infant?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
