Diary of an Unborn Child is an anonymously-written article which was first published by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in the May 22, 1980 issue of its Awake! magazine. Written in the first person, it is formatted to read as the "diary" of a fetus, chronicling the process of fetal development from an in-utero perspective, beginning with conception on October 5 and ending in an induced abortion on December 28. The piece is intended to make readers reconsider their position on the morality of abortion.
