The truth is out there should anyone look for it. Don't believe everything that circulates - regarding ANY candidate. This was the first article I found: Charge That Sarah Palin Charged Victims for Rape Kits Debunked 
LifeNews has a detailed examination of the urban legend that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin--when she was mayor of Wasilla--wanted to charge rape victims for rape kits used to collect evidence.
The Rabid Left has been foaming at the mouth about this accusation for several weeks now, supposedly as evidence that Sarah Palin is a sadistic, woman-hating woman who can't be trusted as Vice President of the United States.
The truth is, as usual, quite different than the Rabid Left and their accomplices in the "mainstream" media portray.
As the LifeNews article points out, the origin of this fallacy seems to stem from an article by the Wasilla paper,
The Frontiersman in 2000.
In that story Police Chief Fannon was quoted as standing against legislation that would force local municipalities to pick up the costs of rape kits being performed. In the interview Fannon said that, upon conviction, he favored the criminals being charged for the costs.
The story mentions that Fannon claimed that at the time Wasilla did have a policy that rape victims' insurance would be charged for the kits being performed but there was no mention that victims themselves were charged and no claim that any ever were.
What the Left fails to mention, however, is that Wasilla isn't the only municipality with this policy--Juneau, for example.
There also seems to be only one rape in Wasilla recorded in the Uniform Crime Reports, and no record that this victim was charged for the rape kit--or that Palin even knew about this policy mentioned by the police chief. It also seems it was the hospitals in Alaska that typically pass along the cost of the rape kit to the victim's insurance company, not the police department.
For her part, Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella has said that the governor "does not believe, nor has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an evidence-gathering test."
I would encourage you to read the entire piece at
LifeNews; it's lengthy but worth it.
Does it even pass the smell-test to believe that a female mayor (or a male mayor, for that matter) would want to intentionally add an insult to an injury in such a terrible crime?
Perhaps if you're on the Rabid Left and believe that women who don't toe the radical feminist line are "Aunt Tom's," or that people of sincere Christian faith are the greatest evil our nation has ever seen.
