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.
