Autobiography of a dying embryo
I am surrounded all around by waters I call my own, shallow and warm. A tiny movement causes a mellow ripple within me which tickles me all over. I love the sensation, it makes me giggle, but the time isnt ripe when they can hear my giggles. I can feel she is happy as there is a cool shadow around me when she tenderly moves her hand over me. The feeling is so fulfilling. I kick and play around my newfound environment. There are flashes of light when there is sunshine outside, at other times there is the confortable blue darkness and her warmth. She is my mother. She will assist The Almighty to help me get out into this world where I will have a new life.Where I will run and laugh and play, where I will have a certain role to play, where I will be someone with a name and identity. That journey is long but I can't wait to be there. It is night of of my 67th day in here and it is very uncomfortable. There are so many disturbances in my waters I cannot sleep at all. I can now hear muffled voices though the world thinks that I cannot. Mother is moving fast , resting and walking, resting and walking. I can hear voices that seem troubled. My father, my protector, I can hear you, I want to say to him, but he doesnt think I can speak. How ignorant are people on this earth who think speech is only by words and sounds! Another day of extreme heat and pain. I can sense mother is troubled.She never sleeps even at nights, she keeps moving even when she is lying down. Father sounds disturbed too. I dont know what the trouble is....but if I were out in the world, I would hug my mother and carress my father and they would forget their troubles after relishing my baby tactics. I will have to wait, though Today it is calm. Very calm. no one speaks. I am relieved. It is so for the next few days. I am now relaxed. I curl and sleep in her caressing womb. Suddenly there is a strong light. It seems different from sunlight. I hear lots of voices, and then one voice which is firm.........my mother's. It sounded like a firm"YES". Again a lot of noises, words, instuments clattering, lights shining............ a probe trying to pull me. Now I am scared. I try to move away, but the water around me is quickly drying up. I am terrified. I want to live..........please is someone listening?I have a job to do in this world. This is not my time of death yet. Do you know how long it will take before I find another womb to fulfill this task. Do you understand how much pain I am going through. Please stop , i shout, but no one listens to me. Now I can resist no longer. That long probe will now take my life. But before I leave this world untimely, I want to ask her if I meet her again...What in the whole wide world could have been so important to cause the death of your own child.?I would ask my father ...why did he not protect me when he was supposed to? Would you hae counsciously killed me were I moving and crying and playing in your world. But I am deaf, dumb, blind and immovable to them. probably that is why they do not know that I am ...............WAS alive and living and had just started to love them so much. Humans should never have invented abortion.......... This blog is inspired by a true story of a very close married friend who has had an abortion. Nothing could convince her against it. Its now been seven months and she still thinks about her unborn baby. And if God is kind enough to give her another baby in the future, it will always remind her of this dreadful nightmare she brought on herself.
