Diary of the unborn baby
February 14, 2007 (week 1)
Today, a new life was formed. Oh! my new home feels so soft and warm and wet. I am just a
mass of cells now but hey, I cannot wait to have my own hands, legs, mouth and all those things
human beings have. Are you wondering how I know about legs et al? Let us just say I know,
after all, I am human.
Week 3:
I am loving this "home". My mother sure knows how to - Mother?! Oh, I wonder what she looks
like.
Though I know about hands and legs, I have yet to know what a human being looks like. Tough
luck! I am getting tired of waiting for my hands and legs!
March 14,2007 (week 4)
Oh Boy!!! I can feel myself moving! I feel kind of different today. Yayyyyy!!!!! I am beginning to
have hands and legs and all those things I wanted. I even think I am going to have eyes and
ears!!! wait!!! what is that thumping sound in my chest? Oh well, I hope I am okay.
I am so happy that at last, I am beginning to have my own hands, feet, eyes and nose, wait a
minute, I even have a tail! WOWWW!!!
I can imagine myself running with my little feet to wrap my little arms around my mother's
neck; I will pick flowers and stick them in her hair. I feel like bursting with love for my mother!
What on earth is that creamy liquid pouring all over me? It sure tastes good and whatever it is,
momma sure knows how to eat well. Oh!!! I cannot wait to gaze up at her lovely face.
March 21 (week5)
It is so quiet in here. Nothing much happened to me today. Quite an uneventful day. Oh well, I'll
just go to sleep.
March 22:
Oh!!! I had a wonderful dream while I slept. I dreamt I was a little girl with brown hair, round
eyes and the cutest little mouth. Oh, and guess what too, I saw my mother in my dream! She is
beautiful, I am going to look just like my mummy. She has the most beautiful brown eyes,
brown hair, a cute nose and the most beautiful smile.
I dreamt that she lifted me up in the air and kissed my lips. I hugged my mother in my dream.
Was really comforting and reassuring. Oh! how much I lovemy mother. I cannot wait to be out of
here so I can be with her for real. I am so excited!!!
March 23
Oh NO!!! Today my mother killed me!!!!

wow snazz loved it.
last yr (2007) in Portugal, the goverment made the conduct of abortion untill 10 weeks of pregnancy legal.
but before that there was serious oppositions on both sides ( people votin no and people otin yes) Port. is a catholic county,
so the competition was tough. Unfortunatly the "yes" side won
The ironic part of the whole thing is that Portugal's population is old ( lotsa old people, few youths.)
And the goverment closed down maternity homes due to economical problems, and opened abortion centers instead.
it's so sad!

http://www.geocities.com/laz614/unborn.htmlAny similiarity to your piece and the above link? You wrote " can imagine myself running with my little feet to wrap my little arms around my mother's neck; I will pick flowers and stick them in her hair." The author writes "But I have to wait a long time yet before those legs will raise me to my Mother's arms ,before these little arms will be able to gather flowers and embrace my Father. Too much of a co-incidence between your work and the author's work. Nevertheless, I am pro-life.

@ snazzydawn, you disgust me. You are a frigging disgrace . You couldn't even come up with an original title. The last line/diary entry of your version is almost verbatim with the "original" version. No be by force to become author or poet o. If you know you wanted to make an adaptation of "the Diary of an Unborn Child", the least you could have done was give the author credit. |

creativity is needed in one's work, snazzydawn.
Today my MOM killed me, (according to the author)
And you wrote.
Oh NO!!! Today my mother killed me!!!!
Another coincidence?

@poster,

if only mothers get to know such love their babies have 4 em in d womb,
they wont dare abort.

surprising, I have never seen that version before though. Believe it ir not. I have had that piece in written form like for a long while, I have never seen that "original" version you guys are harping about. Was just writing what I felt.

Snazzydawn, stop trying to play 'sense' with us. I mean, who would not be able to discern similarity between your 'work' and the original work?

ndipe this is not sense. why on earth would I play "sense" with people I have never seen and might never see? This thing came to mind after I read an article on aborted babies in Thisday or was it Independent. I have never seen that write up anywhere, I did not know something like that had been written. I will not comment on this issue again. If I actually knew it was there, I would have quoted it and acknowledged them. Like I said, you do not have to believe me. Just because there are some similarities in a thing does not mean they are the same or were lifted.
