Theoretically, if the police order it, the police are supposed to pay for it, but in my girlfriend's case, the police order the kit, and then never pay for it, so she gets billed. She couldn't pay it, and shouldn't have to pay it. So not only was she raped, just to see the guy not go to jail (despite his documented confession to her) because of some stupid twat juror with half a law degree, she still occasionally gets collection notices for the rape kit, and the "default" shows up on her credit report. It's been years, now. There are days I think the universe is a bad practical joke. It’s the case here in Colorado too.

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:10:21 +0000 http://www.kellysue.com/blog/2007/02/26/hold-on/#comment-569 [...] Courtesy of Girl Farts (which I can only assume is a site run by an Asian man whose fetish is to stick his nose into a women’s buttcrack after a hearty meal of barbecue and semen), it’s been reported that “rape victims in Missouri are billed for their rape kits“. Now, you see, some people may misconstrue this as some horrible measure in a podunk, antiquated state. But in reality, this is a continuation of the Thomas Jefferson business policies (TJ biz-nass for all you ebonics linguists), for it is the secret clause in the US Constitution that reads “Thou shalt do ladies against thy will, and when thee pregnancy emerges, they shalt be the one to pay for it. When thy is confronted with said charges, please ignorance, heavily and mightily, and when unsurmountable evidence falls out of your favor, publicly state “She asked for it”. Thus, thou shalt be ridden of thy burden”. America people, learn to love it.

God created Jesus and America in his own image. God is a libertarian and therefore doesn't want to pay for your tampons or whatever other liberal tools of destruction you masquerade as feminine products.

Most of the survivors I've seen haven't any insurance and sometimes the hospitals have safety net policies in place, but it's not universal and it's absurdly expensive, just like all hospital trips. I suppose the rationale is that if you were punched by a purse snatcher and ended up in the ER, you'd pay for your stitches and have photos taken in the event they caught the thief. Same with rape kits. Only in rape kits they have to pull 50 hairs from your head and pubic area, do a complete pelvic exam, draw blood, and a myriad of other horrible things and this is all after you've told your story at least twice to complete strangers.
