Letters From the Unborn

I'm not tryna make a political statement, just thought it'd be an interesting challenge. A baby (not the normal subjects of books) "writing" to their mother, who is contemplating an abortion. This book contains a detaild "day to day, week to week" process of the devopment of babies, so you can see just how far a baby's come when he/she is aborted. I know this book will probably be reported, but I ask that you don't. This is a topic real special to me, and I will face expulsion from the site if it means getting this out there. Fame is fleeting, but the internet is forever.
