Though its obvious that Sarah Palin has bad politics all around, one thing that got my goat during the election is just how little she supported women's rights.
When Palin was mayor of Juneau, she passed a law requiring rape victims to pay up to $1500 for "rape kits" which included a forensic examination, police costs and the morning after pill. Her reasoning? She would not support anything that could have killed an unborn child.
Aside from this, Palin, though presented in the light, does not represent the "new feminism". As a feminist, I would hate to be associated with such a woman.
