TEACH WOMEN NOT TO . . . OH, HELL, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO CALL THIS: Pictured: The woman ‘who cut and removed baby from seven months-pregnant victim’s womb in horrific attack after luring her to her home with Craigslist advert for children’s clothing.’

A seven months’ pregnant woman had her unborn baby cut out of her womb by a mother-of-two after she went to a home answering a Craigslist ad for baby clothes.

Dynel Catrece Lane, 34, allegedly stabbed the 26-year-old in the stomach and pulled out the baby, killing the fetus in the process.

Police rushed to the scene after reports of a stabbing attack in Longmont, Colorado at 2.30pm on Wednesday and could hear the victim calling for help inside the home. An officer found the victim in the basement.

The victim was taken to Longmont United Hospital where she underwent surgery and is expected to recover. The baby did not survive the attack.

Good grief.

FACTS AND EVIDENCE ARE TOOLS OF THE PATRIARCHY: Student Barred From Class For Disputing Rape Statistics.

He and/or his parents are paying Reed College a lot of money. Why, exactly?

Related: At Northwester, the Laura Kipnis Melodrama.

Last Monday, about thirty Northwestern anti-rape activists marched to their school’s administrative center carrying mattresses and pillows. The event was a deliberate echo of the performance art project of Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz, who is lugging a mattress everywhere she goes on campus for a year to draw attention to the university’s failure to expel her alleged rapist. At Northwestern, the target of the protest was not a person accused of assault, but the provocative feminist film professor Laura Kipnis. Her offense was penning a February essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education, titled “Sexual Paranoia Strikes Academe,” which argues against her school’s ban on sex between professors and students, and more broadly against the growing obsession with trauma and vulnerability among feminists on campus.

“If this is feminism, it’s feminism hijacked by melodrama,” she writes. “The melodramatic imagination’s obsession with helpless victims and powerful predators is what’s shaping the conversation of the moment, to the detriment of those whose interests are supposedly being protected, namely students. The result? Students’ sense of vulnerability is skyrocketing.”

Including, apparently, their vulnerability to articles in The Chronicle of Higher Education. As the protesters wrote on a Facebook page for their event, they wanted the administration to do something about “the violence expressed by Kipnis’ message.” Their petition called for “swift, official condemnation of the sentiments expressed by Professor Kipnis in her inflammatory article,” and demanded “that in the future, this sort of response comes automatically.”

These little Junior Anti-Sex League members combine thuggishness and fragility in a particularly obnoxious way. They should be sent home until they are mature enough for college. And America. And no parent should pay tuition to a school that takes this sort of hysterical behavior seriously.

CAMILLE PAGLIA EXPLAINS WHAT’S WRONG: “Whether the subject is feminism or the fate of Western civilization, Paglia is no Pollyanna. In this wide-ranging discussion, she says higher education is going to hell, the Fourth Estate is an epic FAIL, millennials are myopic, contemporary criticism has croaked, and Hillary Clinton might singlehandedly destroy the universe. Even Madonna, once Paglia’s ideal of sex-positive feminism, seems to have lost her way.”

SO WHEN I FIRST HEAR OF STARBUCKS’ CRINGE-WORTHY #RACETOGETHER CAMPAIGN, I was going to suggest that readers visit their local Starbucks at peak hours and insist on holding a conversation about race at the drive-thru, while video-ing the result, with highlights to be posted on InstaPundit.

I decided that was a bit mean, but now I’m not sure. . . .

JUSTICE: Judge Hanen: Sanctions possible in Obama immigration action.

The Justice Department might face sanctions if a federal judge determines its attorneys misled him about whether part of President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration was implemented prior to it being put on hold by the judge.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen last month halted Obama’s plan. The president’s plan would spare from deportation up to 5 million people in the U.S. illegally.

At a court hearing Thursday in Brownsville, a Justice Department attorney apologized to Hanen for any confusion after the U.S. government revealed 100,000 individuals were granted three-year reprieves before the injunction.

Hanen didn’t seem to buy the explanation, saying the three-year reprieves were part of the contested action.

Well, the DOJ certainly hasn’t given us a lot of reasons to trust it lately.

I THINK THEIR BEST DEFENSE IS THAT THEY AREN’T RACIST, THEY’RE JUST FASCIST: Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Commission Police Leave Student Bloodied, Beaten.

A University of Virginia student’s bloody arrest has sparked a massive protest and led Gov. Terry McAuliffe to call for an investigation.

A video showing the bloody arrest of a black UVA undergraduate Martese Johnson sparked hundreds of students to protest against police brutality Wednesday night.

Johnson, 20, joined the demonstration, sporting 10 fresh stitches in his head from the violent takedown early that morning outside a Charlottesville pub.

Footage from the arrest, showing a cop pinning the Honor Committee student against the street and blood covering his face, outraged classmates and spurred McAuliffe to call for an independent probe of the arresting agency.

UVA was quick to challenge authorities for actions taken during Johnson’s arrest. He was pinched for public intoxication and obstruction of justice about 1 a.m. Wednesday.

After all, the same outfit aimed guns at a white coed who had a case of spring water that they thought was beer.

Best question: Why does Virginia have an Alcoholic Beverage Commission with armed police? And for those of you who want more government — this is what “more government” looks like.

On the other hand, the Daily News doesn’t cover itself with glory here:

More recently, members of a University of Virginia fraternity Phi Kappa Psi were accused in a report by Rolling Stone of gang-raping a female student. The magazine admitted after national scrutiny that major portions of its story were inaccurate.

Really? “Major portions?” Like, the part that came after the byline. . . .

DIABETES NEWS: A common over-the-counter cough suppressant can boost insulin: Type 2 diabetics could benefit from a drug that’s already on the market. “Results in mouse cells, human cells, and mouse models of type 2 diabetes were so promising that the researchers were able to perform a registered phase 2a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized study on twenty men with type 2 diabetes. The real deal. Participants were all already taking metformin, an antidiabetes drug that inhibits the synthesis of glucose in the liver. Results were consistent with those seen in tissue culture and animal studies: DXM increased islet cell viability, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and glucose tolerance—all without eliciting hypoglycemia. Remember, this is an over the counter cough suppressant we’re talking about here.”

THE PROBLEM WITH ARTIFICIAL LIGHT: Screens May Be Terrible for You, and Now We Know Why. “A fast-growing body of research has linked artificial light exposure to disruptions in circadian rhythms, the light-triggered releases of hormones that regulate bodily function. Circadian disruption has in turn been linked to a host of health problems, from cancer to diabetes, obesity and depression. . . . Just how much health risk can be attributed to artificial light rather than sleep disruption? If breast cancer rates jump 30 percent in women who work at night, and prostate cancer rates nearly triple in men, what proportion of that circadian disruption comes from artificial light rather than sleep cycle problems? And just how much blue light must be absorbed before things get risky: a few minutes a night or a few hours, a few years or a few decades? These are now pressing research questions, yet it may be difficult to know for sure.”

A LOOK AT your inevitable Robocar future. “But a car that can drive itself is only the beginning. The long-term vision is to combine smart cars with smart roads. That is, an advanced connected car will drive autonomously, and it will tap into the sensors and beacons that will festoon future roads and highways, leading to the ideal of crash-avoiding or crashless vehicles. This will also enable platooning, in which cars drive at a steady speed and follow each other at a set distance. The resulting car train or road train will be completely controlled by vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and interaction with the so-called automated highway system (or intelligent transport system). The ultimate goal is an autocar that is so intelligent and so safe that you could fall asleep in it—the pie-in-the-sky, head-on-the-pillow sleeper car.”

Tests of Cholesterol Drugs Offer Hope of Reducing Heart Attacks and Strokes. “A new class of experimental cholesterol drugs might sharply reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, researchers reported on Sunday, citing what they described as preliminary evidence. The drugs, one being developed by Amgen and the other by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, are already known to sharply reduce so-called bad cholesterol, sometimes to levels lower than those achieved by statins like Lipitor, the mainstay lipid-lowering medicines.”
