For Meritorious: Wasilla Police Department statistics (http://www.cityofwasilla.com/index.aspx? page=103) show that there were 5 sexual assaults in 1995 and 10 in 1998. However, this number “includes all associated sex crimes,” and therefore is not clearly rape.

Sarah Palin is about as anti-women as you can get. It alarms me that so many people are unaware of the facts surrounding her actions and beliefs…. and instead choose to blindly support her based on gender. It is sexist NOT to question this candidate thoroughly. I have to believe that tis VP selection is slowly going to unravel the campaign for McCain. I have to believe it, because to think anything else is devastating.

Feminists are also awfully silent about the absolute *epidemic* of people being abducted by aliens.

I’d be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that there were more reported alien abductions than false rape accusations for any year in the last quarter century.

Something is missing, I haven’t yet seen much condemnation of Sarah Palin, from moderate conservatives against her staunch almost cruel extremism. Comprehensive evangelicals should be incensed that she, cuts funding for shelters for pregnant women while she tries to prevent abortion.

So I guess I’ll start showing some more conservative outrage.

Slightly off the subject crackpot scientist Lysenko was so upset with the Nazi idea of breeding a better, smarter and more tough minded breed of people that, he inspired Stalin to order farmers to stop breading plants and animals.

I see no rape kits to get in the way of a few women getting an abortion to be similar nuttiness.

So I’m going to try to start Pro-Lifer’s Against Sarah Palin’s Extremism

Pro-life, it doesn’t have to mean supporting live ammunition

Some people are urging sober, politically conservative Republicans who don’t like an extremist social agenda to be upset that the religious fringe, could lead to the kind of government looking over your shoulder world that they abhor, since McCain isn’t in the best of health due to his POW years. Others urge those who call themselves pro-life, but don’t think rape victims should be forced to have to be reminded of the goon who raped them, . . . CONTINUES AT THE ABOVE LINK

Please see this link. It’s a resident from Alaska describing this situation in more detail that previous reports than I have read thus far. It also has more information in regards to rape victims in Alaska.
