Just to be clear, your god is responsible for more abortions than humans, by far.
Over 50% of all fertilized eggs never make it. They don't implant into the uterus, or they are naturally aborted.
In the US alone, there are 4 million births a year out of about 8 million conceptions. There are about 1.3 million induced abortions a year, that leaves 2.7 million 'god' induced abortions a year. Figuring that prenatal care is pretty good and infant mortality is fairly low in the US, who knows how many 'god' induced abortions occurring in the rest of the world, where this isn't the case.
Is your god responsible for 2.7 million abortions a year in the US? If not, does that mean that some things happen in the universe that is not part of your god's plan?
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.
