Bad News From China
A Chinese court has made a definitive ruling on the right to have sex. Simply put, they say there is no such thing.
Wei Suying, 31, whose husband has suffered from erectile dysfunction since a 2003 workplace accident, filed suit in a Shanghai court asking for 220,000 yuan ($27,650) in compensation from the shopping center where the accident occurred, it said.
The compensation included claims for mental anguish and for her purchases of products such as vibrators.
"I was not even 30 years old when my husband had the accident, which deprived me of my right to enjoy sexual life," the newspaper quoted Wei as saying.
But the court ruled that Chinese law does not define an individual's sex life as a protected right. Relatives can only ask for mental anguish compensation when a victim dies, the report said.
Wei's husband, Zhang Chengxiang, stumbled and hit his genitals on the corner of some audio equipment when an iron bar fell from a vent and knocked his head while he was working in a shopping center, it said.
Ok, aside from that sounding like an extremely painful accident (and a really awkwardly constructed sentence describing it), what implications does this ruling have for the West? Well, if the leftist lawyers force Western law into compliance, I see a spot of trouble coming. Just think of all the past Western court decisions that will get overturned. The mind boggles.

Don’t worry.
“Rightists” will beat them there.
Starting with Church approved leaders like Katherine Harris is proposing.
