More about the Yule Goat
"And, um, if you're asking, though, kind of foundationally here, should anyone end up in jail for having an … abortion, absolutely not. That's nothing I would ever support. "

"But as for homosexuality, I am not going to judge Americans and the decisions that they make in their adult personal relationships. I have one of my absolute best friends for the last 30 years happens to be gay, and I love her dearly. And she is not my "gay friend," she is one of my best friends, who happens to have made a choice that isn't a choice I would have made. But I am not going to judge people."

I would simply ask Sarah Palin if Roe should be overturned, and if she believes doctors should be imprisoned or penalized for performing abortions.

2) The hospital billing program made the charges
3) Patients are charged for all kits used in treatment
4) Check other states/municipalities--the Prosecutor's office or the local police do not customarily pick up this expense
thats really making them pay.
When you shoot amoose do you go for the kill shot or do you wing'em
so you can track them untill they bleed out?
All the Globe-Democrat has to do is show a single incident of “the town charging rape victims or their insurers” for rape kits. Just one. That’s all. Should be easy, right? After all, Rene Loth &Co. (editorial page editor of the Boston Globe-Democrat) are reporting it as fact. Surely, Rene, you have the facts. So just publish them.
Ah, but that might be difficult. You see, as has been reported repeatedly for weeks now, there is no record of the city of Wasilla ever charging anyone for a rape kit. And as of 2000, the state of Alaska changed the law to prohibit towns—like Juneau, which actually DID—from charging for them.
The Boston Globe Democrat knows this. The debunking of the “rape kit” myth is widely known. The liberal online magazine Slate.com wrote about it, concluding that the entire story “is a nasty and untrue rumor about Sarah Palin that's been circulating for weeks.”
But the Boston Globe-Democrat repeated that lie today.
I visited factcheck.org and it is obviously true that this was the town's policy until the State legislature banned it. Given Palin's micromanaging of other issues in the town of 7,000, I think she should answer these questions and be held accountable.
