Protesters Clash With Police in India Over Gang Rape of Medical Student - World News

The Indian government moved on Sunday to stamp out protests that have swelled in New Delhi since the gang-rape of a 23-year-old female medical student, banning gatherings of more than five people, but still thousands poured into the heart of the capital to vent their anger.

Police in riot gear used tear gas and batons to hold crowds back from marching on the presidential palace, just as they did the day before in clashes that media reports said injured more than two dozen protesters.

Doctors said the victim of last week’s attack, who was beaten, raped for almost an hour by four men and then thrown out of a moving city bus in New Delhi, was still in a critical condition on respiratory support but responding to treatment.

New Delhi has the highest number of sex crimes among India’s major cities, with a rape reported on average every 18 hours, according to police figures.

What our problems weren't "caused" by the gays or abortion?

‘Ex-Gay’ Professor Warns That Gay Men Want Surrogate Moms as ‘Breeding Slaves’
Gay blogger Joe.My.God. reported that in a post called "Breeders: How Gay Men Destroyed the Left," Lopez envisioned a dystopian future where women are nothing more than prisoners to an elite overclass of gay men.

Brewer’s Staff Helped Write Anti-LGBT Bill She Vetoed
When Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the "right to discriminate" bill SB 1062, she claimed that the measure was a solution in search of a problem. Further, Brewer added, the bill was "broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences." What the governor conveniently omitted is that members of her own staff worked with the bill's sponsors on that language, in ...

New Study Finds That Drinking Doesn’t Cause Sexual Aggression, Predators Target Drunk Women
A new study backs up what feminists have been saying for approximately ever about the relationship between drinking and rape. Namely, that alcohol-despite its impressive powers-neither magically turns well-meaning kids into sexual aggressors nor makes everything so topsy turvy that nobody has any clue what consent is and if they have it or gave it. Instead, sexual predators deliberately target intoxicated victims. NPR ...

Did What Happen to Payne Stewart Happen to Flight 370?
"If a plane breaks up at altitude, the parts float down, so you find wings and rudders and horizontal stabilizers falling flat," Marks said. "If there was an explosion, you can find burn damage."

I must admit ...
