Where's the Senate bill that outlawed charging rape victims for rape kits?
Apparently, McCain voted against it? Does anybody have a bill number or a link?

1. you are talking about alaska
federal laws don't seem to matter - they take the money, but use loopholes to circumvent the laws (like aerial hunting)

2. It was a state not a federal bill.
Don't let that stop you - you can still make up a good story about McCain going to Alaska and voting against it.

4. I have no intention of making up anything. Earlier, on DU...
...I saw a reference to federal legislation on this matter. And it was stated that Obama supported it but McCain did not. This was not about the Alaska legislature's prohibition of the practice.

McCain against charging

I am sure there are other reasons he voted against the bill but this provision he was against twice

5. H.R.3093. Thank you! Now, if McCain can say that Obama voted to teach five-year-olds...
...how to use condoms, it is 100% fair game for our side to say that McCain wants rape victims to pay for their own rape kits and forensic medical exams.
