She said "This is what a feminist looks like." Those of us who thought that feminists would never vote for a pro-life Republican have to eat our words because here is the president of the LA chapter of NOW supporting Palin!
Palin was introduced by Shelly Mandell, the president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women. Mandell supported Sen. Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary, but has now endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket.I guess the woman thing trumps the ideology. If you worked all your life to see women given the same opportunities as men, it must be tempting to see that a woman could finally make it into the WH (well, at least the number two position but a heart beat away from number one).
BTW, this is one smart feminist, she recognizes that there is more to a feminist than supporting abortion. If the feminists want to expand their number, including conservative women among their number would be smart move. Making abortion the badge of a feminist, is a sure way to continue to marginalize the movement. The movement would expand greatly if it was about empowering women as moms, workers, wives and daughters and not just empowering them to abort their baby.
Another BTW, here are some shots of the crowds. Looks like they were packed in pretty tightly. And isn't it amazing that Obama isn't he only candidate to draw young people.

In fact, you REALLY don't, due to your unfortunate mis-statement: "there was no reimbursement AT ALL for them"

CHAIR JAMES asked if she understood correctly that Mr. Smith is saying that the department has never billed a victim for exams.
DEL SMITH, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Public Safety: replied that the department might have been billed, but
he has not found any police agency that has ever billed a victim.
If Sarah Palin is what a feminist looks like it's only because of her resemblence to Tina Fey.
"Again...produce proof."
that's funny. thanks for the amusement. since when does proof or fact or common sense matter a lick to the right?

Well, since I've just produced evidence that common sense would say means that the rape-kit myth is just that...
It seems that it means little or nothing to the left.
At least I can see no evidence of common sense on the part of the left in this thread.
then your mistaken yet again. the issue of the rape kits is that under the mayorship of sahrah "rape kit" palin, the city had a policy on the books that would bill the insurance company of the victim, or the victim itself. that's indisputable fact.
no matter how many times you spout off that there weren't any documented cases found of the city actually billing a victim does not make the issue a "myth."
nice try at brushing this off, though.
