walkinginthenightPalin on Rape Exams: Not the Taxpayer's Problem
or:
While Mayor, Sarah Palin Charged Rape Victims for Their Own Justice
I added the first article to the second one because it makes the connection between Palin and this policy clearer - She fired the existing chief of police in Wasilla, appointed a new one (Charlie Fannon), and he decided that this policy would be a good idea. She didn't oppose his decision. People may say that she wasn't paying attention. Well, she also claimed in another famous quotation that with a six million dollar budget, being mayor wasn't rocket science. If she wasn't aware of a change like that, she wasn't doing her job to begin with!
Besides, rape kits are for collecting evidence at a crime scene, not a part of the medical treatment that may happen afterwards! We don't charge for this in any other situation.
Grr.
