if a woman is raped should she have to pay for her own rape kit?

Published Oct. 6, 2008

While Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla, she made women pay for their own rape kits in what amounted to a second violation of these women. Any thoughs on this Sarah Palin -- a truly cold and heartless woman?  

I guess she was too busy lobbying for earmarks and her Bridge to Nowhere to be concerned about other people. Maybe she was just hanging out on the shore looking for Russians.

No and Palin was wrong for allowing such.

Now that Palin is the Republican nominee for vice president, Democrats such as former Alaska governor Tony Knowles — who signed the rape-kit bill into law and was defeated by Palin in 2006 — are raising the issue to question Palin's commitment to women's issues and crime victims.

Tony Knowles is who this article should be about.

canes017 - "Randy, the city council if not the state general assembly votes on these issues, mayor's don't preside over such situations"

In this case, this is not the case, as the evidence shows. It was a local decision by the police department, that, at least in the case of Wasilla, the chief of which could be fired by the mayor. This was a internal decision, not one of overall budget.

"You did see her on the debate, didn't you. She kicked Biden's but!!!""...how do you win a debate by avoiding answering any/most of the questions? She stuck to her little notes and dodged questions faster than Ted Kennedy dodging a bar tab. She is a pretty lady but she is in no way ready to run the country or be a heartbeat away from it. Give her some time at the national level and in a few years she might be a force to be reckoned with- but not now.

Check around the country and most places women have ot pay the ER fee which includes the rape kit.

Al so insurance is applied here also.

If I am wrong pleas don't kill and eat me, just let me know what you find out.

Where do people dig this dirt up at?? Who gives a flip? I look at the major issues and decide how I am going to vote based on the canidates stance on those issues. The mud slinging is silly and i find it silly that people even entertain these trivial issues.

"WCNC, there were only about 7000 people in Wasilla when Palin posed as the mayor. I agree with not-so-dumb who said, "The only way Palin could have had nothing to do with this is if she was totally negligent as mayor."

Randy, the city council if not the state general assembly votes on these issues, mayor's don't preside over such situations. To insinuate that a WOMAN who is PRO-LIFE would enact something like this is folly. We don't run dictatorships, our executives can only go on whatever ride the prevailing council and assemblies take them on. Stop being ridiculous, you're contributing nothing but a view into radical liberalism.

wcnc - both cases of lobbying are a problem, in my opinion.

patty - you are assessment of Palin's performance is in the minority of people who did not already have a favorite going in. Objective analysis would show that she is an inelegant communicator.
