Unborn Child is the sixth studio album by American music duo Seals and Crofts, released on February 8, 1974 by Warner Bros. Records.
"[6][7] Seals and Crofts were followers of the Baháʼí Faith, a religion founded in the 19th-century which teaches that life begins at conception.
The duo insisted that the message of "Unborn Child" was universal,[6] and Crofts stated that they made the record "to save lives.
[10] However, it did receive a mostly positive review from Noel Coppage, who, in a July 1974 issue of what was then known as Stereo Review described the song "Windflowers" as "truly beautiful, one of the most dazzling opening songs I've heard on an album in a long time," with "two-part harmonies that soar above inspired and single-minded runs on Crofts' mandolin and unbelievably clean and understanding strums on Seals' acoustic guitar, backed by some restrained and brilliant strums on Louis Shelton's electric guitar."
Of the title cut, he wrote that its "message is anti-abortion propaganda, pure and simple, but it is delivered gently and poetically inside a layered, meaty melody–and hardworking liberals like me can like the song while disagreeing with the tract it could be prosaically reduced to.
