Parents Release Photo of Daughter Born at 24-week-old Abortion Limit
A grieving mum has released this heartbreaking photograph of her premature daughter who was delivered at the 24-week abortion limit, saying ‘She’s not a foetus, she’s a fully-formed human being’
Born just 24 weeks (6 months) into her mother’s pregnancy tiny Adelaide was too small to survive. This treasured image of the tot reaching up as she let out a cry is the only picture her parents have of her alive.
Born just 24 weeks (6 months) into her mother’s pregnancy tiny Adelaide was too small to survive. This treasured image of the tot reaching up as she let out a cry is the only picture her parents have of her alive.
Advisor Emily Caines, 25 from Yeovil, Somerset and husband security guard Alastair Caines, 29, released the photograph in a bid to open up the debate about abortion.
The current law allows babies to be terminated up to 24 weeks gestation, the same as Adelaide when she was born.
She said:
Tragically Mrs Caines had already lost her first baby daughter Isabelle at 23 weeks after going into premature labour in September 2011. She died during delivery.
It was in the agonising weeks after her loss that she fell in love with close friend Alastair who helped her through her grief.
He later proposed and suggested that they marry on the first anniversary of Isabelle’s birth and death to help turn the saddest of days into a happy one.
Soon after marrying the couple began trying a baby together but after struggling to conceive doctors found scar tissue blocking Mrs Caine’s fallopian tubes
They were told their only chance was IVF and fell pregnant after their first round.
At 20 weeks they learned they were expecting a girl and were relieved to pass the 24 week stage, when medics are legally obliged to help save the life of a premature baby.
Mrs Caines said: “Only then did I buy her a baby grow and Alistair bought her a pink cuddly bunny.”
But just three days later she started to bleed and was rushed to Southmead Hospital in Bristol which has a specialist premature baby unit.
Mrs Caines was rushed into theatre for an emergency section on December 27 2013 and her husband was at her side when their tiny daughter was lifted out by medics and let out a cry.
That’s when a doctor took the only picture of their daughter alive at the birth on the couple’s
.
Mrs Caines said: “That cry filled us with so much hope. Her little fists were waving and I could see the doctors working on her.”
But after an hour they told the couple that it was proving impossible to get a line into their daughter’s lungs to help her breathe.
They agreed the kindest thing was to let her go.
Mrs Caines said: “Thinking of my daughters together was the only thing that got me through arranging another funeral.
“We were utterly heartbroken again.”
Five months later they started another round of IVF and Mrs Caines is now 20 weeks pregnant with what she calls her ‘rainbow baby.’
She hopes that following a stitch in her cervix the pregnancy will progress normally. Her son is due in January 2015.
She said: “The theory of the rainbow baby is that something beautiful will follow the devastation caused by the storm.I hope sharing our story gives hope to others and helps other parents who have suffered a loss.”
The couple are now keen to break down the taboos surrounding baby loss and neonatal death.

“Our picture shows Adelaide was not a feotus she was a fully formed human being and to think that a baby like her could be legally terminated on grounds of a lifestyle choice is to me is horrifying. Medical grounds is a different matter. Our hospital was amazing and did all they could but Adelaide suffered complications which made it impossible for her to survive but many babies born at 24 weeks do live.
“That makes a mockery of the 24 week legal limit.”

Amaechi’s Cousin Was Cut To Death With Machete
A cousin of governor Chibuike Amaechi, Sabinus Ordu, has been murdered in his home town, Ubima, in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the State, according to the Rivers Police Command.
The State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Ibim Semenitari, who confirmed the incident to Premium Times in Port Harcourt on Friday, said Mr. Ordu was Amaechi’s uncle. However, he is a senior cousin because they share same grandfather.
According to Mrs. Semenitari, the mutilated body of Mr. Ordu, the vice principal of the Community Secondary School, ALUU, also in the local government, was found on Monday night.
On September 8, the deceased had gone to inspect his trap in the bush during which his assailant cut him with machete to death. It could not be ascertained immediately if the killing was politically motivated.
“Late Mr. Sabinus Ordu, who is an uncle (senior cousin) to Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, returned home in the afternoon from CSS, ALUU, where he is the vice principal and told the boy staying with him that he was going into the bush to check his traps.”
“He then mounted his motorcycle and left for the bush but did not return until it was night. At about 8.00p.m, the boy raised an alarm which attracted the villagers. A search party was sent to look for him,” Mrs. Semenitari said.
Mrs. Semenitari added that on the way into the bush the search party saw the victim’s motorcycle by the bush path, and went into the bush where they found his lifeless body, mutilated with several machete cuts.
The commissioner said the matter has been reported to the Elele Police Division and that Mr. Ordu remains have been deposited in a private mortuary.“The matter has been reported to the Police at Elele while the body has been deposited at the morgue.”
“It is worrisome because Ordu was a peace loving man, a school principal and the entire Amaechi’s family has been thrown into deep mourning,’’ she said.

The initial information is also confirmed by individuals on social media. About 15 people feared dead. However, the official figure has not been announced.
The official page of SCOAN founder, Prophet T.B.Joshua, issued a brief comment about 6 hours after the tragedy. The statement did not say anything about deaths, mentioned only “few people” who had been rescued.
The six-storey building collapsed due to yet-to-be identified reasons. This building serves as a guest house for people travelling from far and for foreign visitors of the Synagogue Church, however, it has not been fully completed yet.
The collapse occurred after 12 in the afternoon. The total number of people present at the building at the time of the tragedy is controversial, ranging from 70 to 200. The possible victims include foreign believers, church members, canteen and construction workers.

At least 7 ambulances have arrived the scene almost immediately. Passers-by and drivers were reportedly helping to evacuate the victims to hospitals.
A military helicopter was seen hovering above the area shortly after the collapse. Strong police presence reported by multiple eyewitnesses as well.
According to SaharaReproters, Church security staff behaved in an aggressive way, attacked reporters of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and broke their camera. Work of the officials of the Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has been also disrupted. One of the possible reasons is that the administration of the Church might have tried to cover up the real cause of the collapse and its scale.
This development caused pandemonium in the area and heavy traffic for those who were heading to Ikotun from Ejigbo, Mushin and related directions.

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has a sex tape that her ex-boyfriend wants to sell to porn giant Vivid Entertainment, for revenge. Iggy’s lawyers said the blonde rapper is the woman in the video but may have been under 18 when the sex tape was filmed. The lawyer also claimed there was a chance the video was shot without her knowledge or consent.

Emir of Kano Wants Law To Punish Divorcee
The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II on Friday, called on the state government to pass a law that would punish people who divorce their spouse over flimsy excuses.
According to Premium Times, the Emir, who condemned the increase in divorce in Kano State, reiterated the need for disciplinary actions to be meted on perpetrators

Sanusi further explained that the punitive steps are to be taken to halt the development, adding that people now end their marriages on questionable grounds.
The Emir, who pointed out that women are often the most affected after divorce, stated that the worst hit amongst such women are the uneducated and the economically-disadvantaged ones. He said most of their husbands end marriages over matters that could have been resolved.
Sanusi warned that anyone found guilty of unnecessary divorce without reasonable reasons for such an action would be appropriately punished in order to serve as deterrent to others nursing the same thoughts in their head.
The Emir expressed optimism that the decision would help reduce the alarming spate of divorce cases in the state. He also warned residents, district heads, ward and village heads against drug usage and addiction, assuring that he will not relent in expelling anyone found in drug mess.
It would be recalled that on June 8, 2014, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who was an expelled Central Bank of Nigeria Governor was chosen to become the new Emir of Kano, to succeed the late Emir, Alhaji Ado Bayero. The decision, however, sparked a negative reaction from the people of the state.

Sanusi further explained that the punitive steps are to be taken to halt the development, adding that people now end their marriages on questionable grounds.
The Emir, who pointed out that women are often the most affected after divorce, stated that the worst hit amongst such women are the uneducated and the economically-disadvantaged ones. He said most of their husbands end marriages over matters that could have been resolved.
Sanusi warned that anyone found guilty of unnecessary divorce without reasonable reasons for such an action would be appropriately punished in order to serve as deterrent to others nursing the same thoughts in their head.

PDP Denies Kalu’s Membership
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Southeast zone has denied the membership of former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu.
The denial was contained in a statement issued on Friday in Enugu State, by the party’s South East zone National Vice Chairman, Col. Austin Akobundu (rtd), a copy obtained by The Nation.

Akobundu, who revealed that Kalu has not been readmitted into the PDP, insisted that the rumours making the round that the ex-governor has returned to the party were false, and described it as the figment of the peddlers’ imagination.
The national vice chairman further explained that the information made available to him from both Bende local government area and Abia State chapters of the party showed that Kalu is not a member of the PDP.
“He is neither registered in his Igbere ward nor recognized as having done so in Bende local government area, let alone being accepted at the state level of the party as a returnee”Akobundu said. “For the avoidance of doubt, Orji Uzor Kalu is not member of PDP.”
He stated that despite the fact that the ex-governor visited some friends at the national secretariat of party in Abuja, where he took photograph with some naïve national officers and former political office holders as published in two national dailies does not make him a member of the PDP.
Akobundu therefore noted that the party has constitution, guidelines and laid down procedures that spell out how the party conducts its affairs including how returnees should be readmitted.

“Kalu, we should recall, was a governor at a time when our dear National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Ma’azu, was holding sway in Bauchi State. That Kalu had gone to our national headquarters to felicitate with his erstwhile colleague probably in company of others does not automatically qualify him as a member of the PDP” he said.
It would be recalled that on September 9, 2014, Orji Uzor Kalu, while speaking on the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram, which he said is politically instigated by some enemies of democracy in Nigeria, indicated interest to run for Senate in 2015, despite strong opposition from Governor Theodore Orji and other party chieftains with vested interests in Abia State.
