Just an odd little fact...that I think says a lot. Id be surprised if many cities charge rape victims for their investigative tools..but I could be wrong

I'd be curious - based on the information in this article it appears that in many states, women don't even have access to rape test kits:

And of the rapes that did occur in Alaska, I wonder how many of the cities and towns did charge for them... They seem to want to take small facts (like the fact that the police chief of Wasilla was the one upset with this issue) and make it somehow Palin's issue.

North Carolina only recently dealt with the issue in their State:

North Dakota:

Previous USA Today story that was a bit more even in the fact that it has been an obvious problem across the country:

Nothing to see here, move along.
