Oh, So THAT'S Why

[3894]

As mayor of Wasilla, Palin didn't want the city to pay for rape forensic kits because they include emergency birth control.

Quick Quote:

Sarah Palin has absolutely no problem with the state paying for evidence gathering. But the problem is that a rape kit is far more than evidence-gathering. A rape kit also tests for STD’s and provides emergency contraception at state expense.

The line that Sarah Palin toed was basically this: no way, no how, no public funding at the municipal, state, or federal level for rape kits that contain emergency contraception. But investigation costs, she says? No problem.

If anyone wants to discuss abortion/ways to prevent abortion and the current election, I'm hoping this will be the thread for it.
