Sounds like typical Palin, right? How about this?
Don't forget ladies. Once you've been raped....and paid for you're rape kit.......and found out you're pregnant......Ms. Palin will make sure that you have no choice but to have that child.

total BS there is still laws allowing abortion, Imay be wrong but I believe that rape victims are provided the morning after pill. Nothing is going to be overturned in my opinion.You have as much chance of overturning Roe as you do collecting up all the guns in America

Palin is not mentioned once in your article...

well I think that they're insurance should cover most , if they have it. the rest should be cover through a hospital write off . or a donation from a trust etc

Two thoughts. First off, when I worked for a local police agency, we changed mayors twice. Each time, we also changed police chiefs. The chief reports directly to the mayor and serves as a political appointee. It is STANDARD practice for mayors to appoint a new chief. I also work with several communities around the country and I have never yet seen a new mayor come in who DIDN'T replace the chief of police. It's NORMAL.

Beyond that, do you see that she replaced him with someone who actually did LESS to restrict personal freedoms in the city?

But, why should facts stand in the way of a politically-motivated hatchet job?

Of course Stambaugh was all over the news, he was sueing the city civilly for lost wages. Tell me, what was the outcome of that civil suit, in court? Haven't you ever heard of trying your case in the media before you go to court? That's what Chief Stambaugh and his attorney were doing, setting the stage for an outcome in their favor.

Do any of you know the outcome of this case?*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As far as the rape kit discussion, it is standard practice in MANY cities/states to bill a rape victim's insurance for the examination which occurs in a hospital ER. It is considered MEDICAL TREATMENT, and in many cases, requires the presence of a doctor and/or RN in order to collect and document the evidence of rape. There is no place in that article where it suggests that women without insurance will be billed.

But, if the woman's insurance isn't billed, who is it that you think should have to eat the costs of the exam? Most local police agencies don't have the funds to pay for it, and the hospitals also aren't in the practice of offering free treatment. I love how democrats just think that costs like medical exams are FREE, or should be. Wrong. Someone will end up paying for that doctor's time, as well as the medical supplies used.

That's why we HAVE medical insurance in the U.S., to protect us in case of accident or harm. If you broke your leg in a car accident because someone else hit you witha car, do you think the police department would pay for your ER visit? Why do you consider it different in the instance of rape?

In cases of rape, it is standard practice to tack on associated costs to the defendant's court costs and fees if he/she is found guilty. However, those fees won't be paid until well after the trial. If the victim's insurance pays for it, then the defendent's fees will reimburse the insurance company for his malfeasance.

AND, Palin isn't even MENTIONED in that second article.

But, I'm sure that my comments here won't stop the hate-fest, or even slow it down.

*Stambaugh, who sued for $500k, lost in civil court. He was told by the judge that he served as an at-will employee who could be fired at any point, for any reason, by the mayor (Palin). End of story. This is a dead issue. If Palin had done something wrong, she'd have paid a civil judgement.

Palin replaced the chief because he wasn't "supportive" of her administration. Since this law took a long time to develop, Wassila was in the middle of the controversy and the chief stood his ground through it all, it's clear that the chief and the Mayor were on the same page.

Newsflash. The next President will likely replace 3 supremes. If McCain does the appointing, Roe will be overturned. Don't kid yourself.

What has McCain EVER done to decrease abortions? He is the least conservative republican in the Senate.

But, nice hyperbole. And, you're off topic.
