There is
no more moral wrong in killing a child after it is born than these is killing a
child before it is born. It is yet unborn, but is every bit as much alive, has
all bodily organs, feels pain and functions just as any human being.
Dr. Jerome Lejeune, “Father of Modern Genetics”, states that “From the moment of fertilization, which is from the earliest moment of biologic existence, the developing human being is alive and entirely distinct from the mother who provides nourishment and protection”.

Fetuses and embryos actually are biologically complete
individual humans from the moment of conception. However during the pregnancy fetuses develop in the human form. The truth is that by 4 weeks nearly all of the baby's major organs and body systems are in place and beginning to form and by the end of 12 weeks, the organs and body systems are fully formed.
Development occurs much more rapidly than most people realize as by the end of the first trimester, a fetus has a beating heart, has brainwaves, moves on its own, and has many complete organs. The fetus eventually gains the ability to live without its mother during the last second trimester and by the beginning of the third trimester, a fetus is completely developed.
One of the most important questions is whether an unborn baby can feel pain. While some Pro-choice supporters think that fetuses cannot feel pain, researches and biological indicators suggest that fetuses at 20 weeks or younger feel pain intensely, even without any developed connection between the thalamus and the cortex, which has been thought necessary for pain to occur.
Maureen Condic at the University of Utah believes that a fetus can feel pain as early as 8 weeks after conception, developing into a more mature perception by the 18th week.

Your opening is a somewhat circular argument. First and second paragraphs. The quote does not support your initial claims. Clearly at the point of conception there are as yet no bodily organs.
