Palin has a "blame the victim" attitude towards rape. Should this be a new meme?
Under Palin, who apparently hates her own gender, rape victims should be required to pay $300-$1000 for a "rape kit," not to mention upwards of $100,000 to raise the baby, since she wants to completely ban abortion, no exceptions. I guess that'll teach them to not get raped :sarcasm:. Why any woman would vote for her is beyond me.

1. It's a common mentality, unfortunately.
That's why I think the rape argument doesn't work on a lot of forced birthers. Rape victims are really just sluts who were asking for it or women who consented and regretted it afterwards, far as their concerned.

6. They probably look at the story of lot and his daughters
and see lot claiming that the daughters he raped seduced him while he was drunk so all women seduce their rapists and deserve to be raped.

4. That's not just Palin's thinking that's the Republican mantra. Look at the economy.
We're a nation of whiners and the Economies shit is caused by us when the institutions are fucking up the people.
