Forcible rape rate and Violent crime by State - Swivel[limit]=52&commit=%3E

Alaska contributions under Palin:

the highest rape rate of any state

until very recently, the site for the state 'boasted' the highest incest rate, as well.

I found the following interesting:

Did you know that the "Red" States (which are mostly Southern States) have the highest divorce rates in the nation? That they have the highest incest rates, the highest rape rates, the highest child molestation rates, the highest rate of pornography consumption?

These are the kind of family values that "Neo-Conservatism" produces.

The Red states add the least to the overall good of the nation, take the most from the public trough and are so grateful for what they receive from the Blue States that they want to scrap our Constitution and replace it
with their version of Deuteronomy.alaska has the highest rape rate in the US:

We shouldn't have let them back into the Union. The Red States need to stop talking about "family values", stop trying to gut the Constitution and start pulling their own weight.

The red states have the highest incest, rape and molestation rates? Are you really surprised? look at the kind of people who live there.

The only Southern states I saw on there was South Carolina and Arkansas. I'm glad to see Michigan on there though, that's where I was raped. The big bad blue state.

Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that rape victims are asked to pay for their own rape kits? Especially in a state with such high rape records.

Yes, VERY disturbed.

Does she have EXTREMIST written all over her?

Well, they are counting on a majority of extremists voting for them, too.

Trust me, after being raped, the furthest thing from your mind is the cost of a rape kit.

The neo-cons are actually relatively recent addition to Alaska.

The reason the rape rate is high is a bit more complex.

Trust me, the furthest thing from my mind is coming up with the money for a rape kit.

Actually, if you look at that chart carefully it really contradicts your original post. Minnesota is very blue. So is Washington. Delaware is also. And Colorado can never make up its mind. And in California, it looks like your chances of getting raped are low however you probably want to lock yourself up in your closet as far as violent crime is concerned.
