Greg Kelly - AP

A few days ago a woman filed a complaint against Greg Kelly, the son of NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, alleging that he raped her last October.  She said that they met on the street where they agreed to go out for drinks.  After meeting for drinks on October 8, 2011, they then went back to her office where she works as a paralegal – which is where she said the sexual assault took place.  She said that the incident caused her trauma and she also became pregnant but terminated the pregnancy.

Ron Paul supporters are the most dedicated of all the candidate supporters in the 2012 Republican Primary. They are known by their constant insistence that a mix of government debt, Federal Reserve policies and a departure from the Constitution will destroy America. The Apostles of Paul speak with confidence, and they are prepared to handle every party-affiliation on the political spectrum by the script.

A court in Israel rejected a family’s request to fertilize the eggs of their daughter who was reportedly brain dead when her eggs were extracted from her body.  Seventeen year old Chen (Hen) Aida Ayish, was declared brain dead as a result of injuries she sustained in a car crash last week.

In a ruling which many believe set worldwide precedence, the court gave Chen’s family permission to extract and donate Chen’s organs, and harvest and store her eggs, but stopped short of granting their request to fertilize Chen’s eggs with sperm taken from another dead body. It was reported that the Court denied the parent’s request to fertilize the eggs because the parents could not show that Chen had ever expressed intent to have a child.
