So alarming. The idea that Sarah Palin is for women just because she is one is just plain dumb. She also supports John McCain's stance against equal pay for equal work. Meanwhile, Joe Biden was instrumental in the signing of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. Now that's being a maverick.
Quoted: Voters should know if sexual-assault victims in Wasilla, Alaska, were being billed for the cost of rape kits and forensic exams while Sarah Palin was mayor.
Quoted: What was the thinking behind cutting the measly few thousand dollars needed to cover the yearly cost of swabs, specimen containers and medical tests? ... The rape-kit controversy is a troubling matter. The insult to rape victims is obvious. So is the sexism inherent in singling them out to foot the bill for investigating their own case. And the main result of billing rape victims is to protect their attackers by discouraging women from reporting sexual assaults.

Joe Biden is actually a feminist. I can't believe McCain voted against the Violence Against Women Act. What a jerk.
Also, I love how the Wasilla police chief thinks $5,000-$14,000 is a a lot for the city to pay for rape kits and doesn't want to "burden tax payers." That's nothing in a city budget -- and it seems well worth it if it means getting rapists off the streets. Let's talk about burdens, shall we?
