Question

Diary of an Unborn Child

OCTOBER 5:
Today my life began. My parents do not know it yet, but it is I already. And I am to be a girl. I shall have blond hair and blue eyes. Just about everything is settled though, even the fact that I shall love flowers.
OCTOBER 19:
Some say that I am not a real person yet, that only my mother exists. But I am a real person, just as a small crumb of bread is yet truly bread. My mother is. And I am.
OCTOBER 23:
My mouth is just beginning to open now. Just think, in a year or so I shall be laughing and later talking. I know what my first word will be: MAMA.
OCTOBER 25:
My heart began to beat today all by itself. From now on it shall gently beat for the rest of my life without ever stopping to rest! And after many years it will tire. It will stop, and then I shall die.
NOVEMBER 2:
I am growing a bit every day. My arms and legs are beginning to take shape. But I have to wait a long time yet before those little legs will raise me
NOVEMBER 12:

Tiny fingers are beginning to form on my hands. Funny how small they are! I’ll be able to stroke my mother’s hair with them.

NOVEMBER 20:

It wasn’t until today that the doctor told mom that I am living here under her heart. Oh, how happy she must be! Are you happy, mom?

NOVEMBER 25:

My mom and dad are probably thinking about a name for me. But they don’t even know that I am a little girl. I want to be called Kathy. I am getting so big already.

DECEMBER 10:

My hair is growing. It is smooth and bright and shiny. I wonder what kind of hair mom has?

DECEMBER 13:

I am just about able to see. It is dark around me. When mom brings me into the world it will be full of sunshine and flowers. But what I want more than anything is to see my mom. How do you look, mom?

DECEMBER 24:

I wonder if mom hears the whispering of my heart? Some children come into the world a little sick. But my heart is strong and healthy. It beats so evenly: tup-tup, tup-tup. You’ll have a healthy little daughter, mom!

DECEMBER 28:

Today my mother killed me.

Answer 1

by the end I had a tear in my eye....I understand some young girl thinking her life is over because of a mistake, let a childless couple have your gift.

Answer 2

I have pondered so many times this question. My mother died when I was just five and my father too. I wonder do I want my child to go through life without me. I just don't think that I can ever have an abortion even if I was to die. Because I like to think those five years my mother had with me had to have been so important for her. She had five year to love me and I may have had 21 years without her now, but I know how much she wanted children and how much she loved me and I have instilled that in my children. I know that abortion is something that is an option for every parent and lots of people think what you don't see isn't real. However, a baby's heart beats at 9 weeks. Yet, a 9 week old baby couldn't survive outside the womb. I am blessed for what god has given me and there is a reason for everything.

Answer 3

If it were a choice between my life or the life of my unborn child I would have to choose my life. My 11 year old son, my spouse, my parents, my in-laws, and all my siblings all depend on me to be here and would be crushed to loose me. My son has already lost one parent. It would be extremely selfish to leave 2 children in the world with no biological parents to care for them. Abortion is not an abomination when done for the right reason but no matter the reason it is always heart breaking and sad.

Answer 4

Absolutely not! I recently found out that I'm pregnant and my boyfriends mom was umm lets say less than excited about it. She was pushing for me to have an abortion. How ever i'm 21yrs old w/ a good job there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to do this. So i saw a poem similar to this on Myspace the other day, I printed it off and casually laid it somewhere where i knew she'd find it. Let's just say, she's been alot nicer the last couple days :)

Answer 5

If you look at it that way then yea its hard. However, being a mother of two who has had an abortion in the past, sometimes the timing just isn't right. You may not like it, and you may not agree with it, but that is just the way that life goes. Where would we be if every baby that was conceived was born? There are already dozens upon dozens of children that are up for adoption and may never have the chance to havea a real family. There are children out there being abused because they wern't wanted by their parents. There are children out there starving because their parents couldn't afford to feed them. Its not to say that those children are not loved. Those of us who have given our child up like that, have given them another chance with someone else who can give them what they need in another life. So go ahead and think and do as you want but just remember that we loved our babies enough to let God give them to someone who needed them.

Answer 6

I have heard this many times before. It does not change the fact that some cannot handle a child, or that in some cases the mother could DIE if she had the child, or that a child might be brought into an abusive home, a broken home, life on the street, or many other horrors that could happen. There are many many reasons that go into getting an abortion, and most of them are not just because the mother does not want a child (even though that is what people like you want to believe) in MOST cases the parents could not provide for the child. And the adoption argument does not hold any water. There are already THOUSANS UPON THOUSANDS of kids that are up for adoption and not nearly enough people to adopt them. Is it really better for a child to be hurt in life, forgotten, abused, killed by the abuse, set on fire (this happens to hundreds of kids in the world, maybe not in the US but it does happen), starved, sexually abused, or even worse things than these? or would it be better for the child to go to heaven and not have to suffer? People like you need to stop judging others, and try to understand where they are coming from.

And just for you information, there is NO brain activity in an unborn child until 7 months so this is completely silly. Nothing is determined not even the sex of the child until the 3rd week. Know your facts.

Answer 7

That poem is sad and no i would NEVER abort my child no matter what, it is a gift and was not meant to be killed no matter the circumstances...
If i found out i was pregnant but was soon going to die i would still bring the child into the world and hope that i can give it all i can befor i die and when i die i hope it has a wonderful life full of love and happiness...
I know my husband would be their to take care of him/her and give it all the love it needs and that's all i would want for my child...
A child is a blessing!

Answer 9

I would never have an abortion either. I just couldn't do it. It's taking someones life away, and that poem is just so sad. If I didn't want the kid (reasons being like ie, if I was raped or something) I would put it up for adoption. But no, I would never have an abortion.

Answer 10

Abortion is sad. So is unwanted pregnancy. If this country refuses to teach children about prevention of pregnancy, no matter how sad, abortions will continue.

Instead of generating horror with your little diary of a fetus (obviously, you have no clue what a "poem" is), why don't you teach something besides ignorance. Teach what sex is. Teach you CAN get pregnant the first time. Teach you can get pregnant if you do it standing up. Teach birth control pills are only about 95% effective but are better than nothing. Teach condums are less effective, but are better than nothing. Teaching abstinance does not prevent pregnancy. Having little ceremonies where you promise daddy you won't have sex until you get married is just as effective as not promising daddy you will be his little virgin. TEACH AND EDUCATE.

Now here's a poem:

I'm a riddle in nine syllables.
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
boarded the train, there's no getting off.

Answer 11

This is a good poem. There is a slid show to go with it, I can't remember where though. It is really neat.

Pro-choice, do some research. Fetus is a stage of human development, just like baby, toddler, preschooler, adult,etc. It is a baby, a human baby.
