Imagine the scene:
You've been raped. You're scared, hurt, alone. Violated. You go to the hospital to embarassingly ask for a test. The only thing that can make this worse is admitting that it happened in such a stark and open environment, and here you are, doing it.
The best part?
It'll cost you.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's hometown required women to pay for their own rape examinations while she was mayor, a practice her police chief fought to keep as late as 2000.
Alaska's Legislature in 2000 banned the practice of charging women for rape exam kits -- which experts said could cost up to $1,000.
There are hundreds of ways in which to cut a city budget. Charging women to find out the name of their violator should never be one of them.
