Re: Charging rape victims--Palin/Obama/Biden/McCain

Rape is a subject that disgusts me in many ways, but I have the ultimate sympathy for Rape victims. (I don't think that's an unusual opinion)

To Punish the victims of rape, by either:

1) Charging the victim for cost of the forensic tests (the subject of the OP)
OR
2) Legislating an ideology that forces a rape victim to carry the fetus of her attacker to full term (projecting the end-game of Palins' abortion stance)

..is completely abhorrent to me.
