Off to England for Florina

Jun 27, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: baby, love, pregnancy, stupid, woman stuff

Florina, the 11 years old girl who got pregnant after her 19 years old uncle raped her is going to England. Her mother confirmed the fact that they already have the flight tickets.

Meanwhile, the Romanian comission concluded that Florina can have an abortion in Romania IF she can find a doctor who will go through with the procedure.

In case anything wrong happens during the abortion/mini c-section the doctor is not going to be defended by the whole medical staff, in other words : do it on your own risk stupid, we won’t guarantee for you!

Florina’s parents are decided to travel to England and try to put and end to this unhappy event.

Unfortunately, as far as the Romanian media tells, the British Law says that the girl who got pregnant must be older than 12 years old, which in Florina’s case is a problem. Unless she can find a doctor who will terminate the pregnancy, she’s stuck with an unwanted child on her back and a huge trauma.

Her name is Florina and she just turned 11. She’s was a happy girl right before her 19 years old uncle raped her.

She was afraid to tell anyone about what happened with her but soon she started to feel sick: morning sicks, headaches, she fainted a few times and accused some abdominal pains.

Her parents got worried and took her to the doctor. The medical staff as well as her parents were shocked when the analysis revealed that the 11 years old girl is pregnant.

Only after the pregnancy was revealed the girl told her parents about her mother’s 19 years old brother who took advantage of her.

The boy ran away from home when he heard about the consequences of his “pleasure time”. Florina’s pregnancy is now in the second trimester, she’s pregnant in 21 weeks.

The Romanian media wrote for days about this unhappy situation. Everyone judged the parents for not taking the girl sooner to the doctor, for not taking her to a clinic for an abortion. Florina’s mother said she’s afraid of what would happen to her brother if he gets caught. The media made a big case out of this.

The doctors in Bucharest and Iasi decided to spare the child from an unwanted baby and opted for an abortion but after a week they changed their minds because of legal issues. According to the current abortion Romanian law you’re forbidden to have an abortion if you’re more than 14 weeks old of pregnancy.

Because Florina’s parents and herself do not want to have the baby they decided to go to England for an abortion.

A Romanian woman, Roxana talked to some doctors from the “Marie Stopers” hospital where the abortion will be taking place. The procedure costs about 1.600 pounds.

“I’ve already spoken to her parents and told them what to do. A good friend of mine from America offered to buy the plane tickets. I decided to get involved in this case because all I see is an 11 years old child obliged to have a baby by some stupid rules.” said Roxana

The parents are angry with the Romanian authorities because of the stupid laws regarding abortion.

“We know what we’ve been through for the past month and a half. I don’t want to offend anyone but we’re sick and tired of wandering from one hospital to another. We thought the doctors from Piatra Neamt and Iasi wanted to help us, that they really wanted to do this abortion but the law forbids this because the pregnancy is too far along. What are we supposed to do now? We’re going to England. It will be God’s will from now on. We only care for our daughter’s sake!, said Florin, the girl’s father.

Florina, the pregnant 11 years old girl doesn’t really know what is wrong with her.

“I know we have to go to England, to do some analysis. I’m not afraid, I’ve been through enough hospitals. I don’t know what it means to give birth. All I know is that Adrian (the uncle accused of rape) did something bad to me and I had to go to hospital and visit doctors”, told the girl

Unfortunately, Florina is not the only under 15 years old girl who’s going to have an abortion. Last year only in Romania a number of 535 girls under 15 had an abortion. It’s such a shame that the educational system is not working and that there are no special sexual education courses to teach young ladies how to protect themselves from an unwanted pregnancy.

The abortion issue is now being discussed by the media and the Parliament. Some people hope that the current abortion law is going to be changed because it’s wrong to let a girl have her uncle’s baby who raped her.

Jamie Lynn Spears has a baby girl

Jun 20, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: Britney, baby, love, movies, woman stuff

Jamie Lynn Spears baby bump According to Yahoo and The Associated Press Britney’s young sister, Jamie Lynn finally gave birth. She is now the mother of a baby girl named Maddie Briann and weighs 7 pounds and 11 ounces.

“Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth to Maddie Briann on Thursday morning at a hospital in Mississippi, the magazine said.

A high school student who lives in Louisiana, Jamie Lynn Spears reportedly met the father, Casey Aldridge, the son of a Tennessee paper mill worker, at church. The couple are engaged, People magazine said.” Reuters

I bet Jamie and Casey Aldridge are now thrilled about having a baby. Now they can say goodbye to all those quiet and peaceful nights, and try to find as much patience as they can to deal with the responsibility that comes with the new born baby.

And now all that we can do is sit and wait to see if Jamie is going to go crazy like Brit did. I really hope Jamie learned something from her sister and that means she’s not going to refuse the support from her familyto get past that post natal depression. A woman who just gave birth needs encouragement and someone beside her.

Funny royal hats!

Jun 18, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: funny, lifestyle, politics, woman stuff

The five day event, the Royal Ascot has started. All British royalties (except for William and Harry) were present and I noticed the funny hats worn by the British royalties. My God, some of them were hideous. Is that royalty fashion? Do they have a Blackwell for queens and kings? If not, they could sure use one!

Princess Beatrice and princess Eugenie. The second one is supposed to have gone to the limit on the matter of the skirt’s length. I guess they care more about etiquette rather than caring about those silly hats.

Photobucket
As I said, the skirt worn by princess Eugenie is considered too short for this type of event.

Camilla Parker Bowles. Still awful! That’s one silly and ugly hat!

This is Florence Claridge. She’s old and wrinkled and she’s wearing a very ugly hat!

At least they have a beautiful smile :)

My God! Looks like a bunch of swans dropped their feathers in too many colors.

Ah, a modern dress and an old style umbrella. It’s Jodie Skyes

The queen, elegant as always! Her hat is really cute, not silly and not ugly but cute.

A classy hat but still I don’t like it. She looks too old with that thing on her head!

Uf, silly hat! It’s Zara, the princess, not the brand!

The former Doctor Who actress, pregnant with her first child is craving for Greek food. That’s a good sign. It means she’s doing great and her pregnancy is perfect.

Billie Piper and husband Laurence Fox got married last year and are happy about having their first baby.

Hubby Laurence is cooking moussakas, salads and meze, Greek food.

Hmm… yummy!

It’s a bit odd that so many celebrities are going to be parents this year. It’s like some sort of a pipe broke and celebrities just got pregnant.

Anyway, although I’m not pregnant, I’m also craving for Greek food. Unfortunately, the Greek restaurant is not open yet so I’m going to have to wait a few hour more.

Tim Russert dies at 58

Jun 16, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: death, lifestyle, television

The famous NBC newsman, Tim Russert died Friday of a massive heart attack. He was recording voice overs for Meet the Press.

Chief of cardiology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill said:

“Russert’s death is a wake-up call to thousands of men who never thought they might be courting a coronary. [...] You wouldn’t believe the calls we’ve been getting [...] Here’s an example of a high-profile person who everyone thought was healthy. When someone like that has a medical catastrophe, it causes everyone to focus.”

Apparently, Tim has been diagnosed with coronary artery disease.

The anchorman tried to avoid having the same fate like his father by doing exercises, eating healthy food and even running miles. Unfortunately his heart failed.

May God rest him in peace!

Update: Luke Russert recalls his father, Tim.
