Here's a terrifically brutal ad produced by a one of Aravosis' readers.

6. well when you consider that Alaska has the Highest rape and incest rate in the country
having woman pay for their own evidence gathering kits
must be a real boost for the Alaskian Economy

9. And that rate
Is probably higher because some women can't afford the kit so they don't report it.

15. That's what I've heard. Someone even suggested that Palin allowed...
... the state to charge rape victims those expensive rape kits so that less people would report their rape and the numbers would go down during her term. Looking at the woman, I won't put it past her that she'll do everything and anything for political gain.

Palin Had DIRECT ROLE in Charging Rape Victims for Evidence-Collecting Exams

New Evidence: Palin Had Direct Role In Charging Rape Victims For Exams

Despite denials by the Palin campaign, new evidence proves that as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Sarah Palin had a direct hand in imposing fees to pay for post-sexual assault medical exams conducted by the city to gather evidence.

Palin's role is now confirmed by Wasilla City budget documents available online.

Under Sarah Palin's administration, Wasilla cut funds that had previously paid for the medical exams and began charging victims or their health insurers the $500 to $1200 fees. Although Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella wrote USA Today earlier this week that the GOP vice presidential nominee "does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test...To suggest otherwise is a deliberate misrepresentation of her commitment to supporting victims and bringing violent criminals to justice," Palin, as mayor, fired police chief Irl Stambaugh and replaced him with Charlie Fannon, who with Palin's knowledge, slashed the budget for the exams and began charging the city's victims of sexual assault. The city budget documents demonstrate Palin read and signed off on the new budget. A year later, alarmed Alaska lawmakers passed legislation outlawing the practice.

7. They hate women so much, that they nominated a woman...
...who will, or already is, destroying women's image!
We are not thinking about Palin as "this incompetent person", but as "this incompetent woman" !!!
They are corroborating this notion that women are not fit to aspire higher positions...their tokenism is so perverse! They pretend to support women by nominating Palin, a very poor choice (to say the least), claiming she's the best (woman) there is for this position, calling everybody a "sexist" who does not see the emperor's new clothes, yet prolonging the "naked exposure" of this "empress"...

They are damnable, perverse, and so much more...

17. But only, of course, if abortion is no longer available. You gotta ask yourself...
... if that isn't the underlying or "secret" reason many of them are so fanatically against contraceptives, emergency contraceptives, and abortions.

I know pedophiles loathe abortion. After all, we're shrinking their pool of resources for their filthy, retarded, loathsome sexually depraved and perverted gratification.
