Obama's Record On Rape Kits

[Principessa]

Stupid question: what the hell is a rape kit?

Oh sweet God! Do you never watch any of the Law & Orders or CSI's?

A rape kit, also called sexual assault evidence collection kit, sexual assault forensic evidence (SAFE) kit or Sexual Offense Evidence Collection (SOEC) kit in New York[1] is a set of items used by medical personnel for gathering and preserving physical evidence following a sexual assault which can be used in criminal proceedings. The kit was developed by Louis R. Vitullo and was for years referred to as the Vitullo kit.

A sexual assault evidence collection kit contains commonly available examination tools such as:

• Detailed instructions for the examiner
• Forms for documentation
• Tube for blood sample
• Urine sample container
• Paper bags for clothing collection
• Large sheet of paper for patient to undress over
• Cotton swabs for biological evidence collection
• Sterile water
• Sterile saline
• Glass slides
• Unwaxed dental floss
• Wooden stick for fingernail scrapings
• Envelopes or boxes for individual evidence samples
• Labels

Other items needed for a forensic/medical exam and treatment that may not be included in the rape kit are:

• Woods lamp
• Toluidine blue dye
• Drying rack for wet swabs and/or clothing
• Patient gown, cover sheet, blanket, pillow
• Needles/syringes for blood drawing
• Speculums
• Post-It Notes used to collect trace evidence
• Camera (35 mm, digital, or Polaroid), film, batteries
• Medscope and/or colcoscope
• Microscope
• Surgilube
• Acetic acid diluted spray
• Medications
• Clean clothing and shower/hygiene items for the victim's use after the exam

Not sure they can 'learn' in the classic sense

Learn - To gain knowledge, comprehension, or mastery of through experience or study.

Conservative - Favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.

The two terms don't tend to go together...at all.

Republican and conservative are not one and the same. In the errrrrrrrrrrrr 'modern sense'.

You poor thing. You mentioned a thread I started before...you are well aware that I know he sponsored that bill. And it seems the bill Obama sponsored is ineffective in addressing the matter of keeping victims of rape from paying for rape kits because by your own source - the link you provided, women are still paying for rape kits in IL.

So wait, you even admit that Obama tried to address this, but now you've slid your position over from "he made them pay for it" to "he didn't do enough to prevent it"?

I'm just trying to clarify here.

I'd make Trinity pay for hers...

I'd make Trinity pay for hers...

While you are at it, force trinity to have the child too.

That's what her hero would do.

While you are at it, force trinity to have the child too.

That's what her hero would do.

Thats the right thing to do....

Republican and conservative are not one and the same. In the errrrrrrrrrrrr 'modern sense'.

That is certainly true.

There are principles popularly (and incorrectly) thought of as "conservative" that I can understand and respect, even if I don't agree. Republicans as executors of those principles, on the other hand, I can do neither.

As I said... I'd make Trinity pay for hers...
