Baby Talk is a religious tract written by Jack Chick. It was originally printed in 1995, and remains an in-stock title. It is listed on their website under the subject "Abortion" and also tagged as "For Teens".

Despite using "safe sex" practices (in this case, condoms), Ashley finds herself pregnant by her boyfriend Eric. Her school "sex education" teacher suggests abortion (saying that the child inside Ashley is just "a blob ... some pregnancy tissue") and even agrees to keep her parents from knowing. When she tells Eric, he ends the relationship. Depressed, she cries out to God for help.

When Eric tells his Uncle Mike what happened, Mike makes Eric visit a local doctor who tells him the truth about his unborn child, and that if his actions push Ashley into having an abortion, God will hold him responsible for murder. Mike then tells Eric that unless he repents, he will face eternal judgment in Hell. Eric repents of his sin and tries to contact Ashley, only to learn that her Aunt Thelma has taken her to have an abortion.

Eric rushes to the clinic before Ashley can get there (aided by a miraculous "flat tire" and Ashley's desperate prayers to God that she doesn't want to abort her child); when he does he asks Ashley to forgive him and agrees to marry her and raise their child together, which Ashley happily accepts.

The final frame shows Ashley, one year later, holding her son Nathan, glad that she didn't abort him.
