Ehlers’ had to sell her home and car to fund the anti-rape project that some are calling a medieval device. The female condom contains jagged rows of teeth-like hooks line its inside, and is inserted in the woman like a tampon.

Child deaths in non-crash car accidents prompt NHTSA report

In ancient times before cell phones, texting and other multi-tasks put safe driving in the back seat for too many people, we were often warned about leaving pets in a locked car on a hot day. But these days, even small children who are already in the back seat can be subjected to such dangerous indifference by distracted drivers who leave them in a car.Across America, children are dying because parents or guardians who are in too big of a hurry or too much of a multi-tasking fog forget and leave them locked in a car as temperatures climb toward 100 degrees.
