As mayor of Wasilla, Sara Palin charged victims of rape for the forensic testing and collection of evidence, rape kit. She was Mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002 and city council from 92-96 The troopers and most muni agencies covered the cost. Not the city of Wasilla, the police dept charged for the rape kit. Governor Tony Knowles an man put a stop to this in 2000. Sara appointed police Chief Charlie Fannon he disagreed with the law. %u201CThe law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.%u201D Take note the article says they charged insurance companies, so that left victim with co-payments assuming all had insurance . As the mayor just like other small towns Wasilla did not have to charge victims, they did it to save money, other areas were not charging for the forensics test http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2000/05/23/news.txt
Recently she replaced the police commissioner with Chuck Kopp. He has a prior work record of sexual harassment that he was reprimanded for. Sara is obviously for abstinence only education, No abortion even in the case of rape, and incest Alaska is 1 in the country for rape and incest.
While its great she went back to work 3 days after having her child, what message does that send to bonding families, healing mothers and employers not happy with maternity leave. Sara has signed up with a man who has consistently voted against equal pay for women. Is she really a woman or is she a man trapped in a woman body with lipstick.
