PSA: Are they available in bulk?

Sarah Palin has apparently supported the idea that women be billed for their own rape kits?

"Pain and suffering" not being legal tender, the women's experience apparently does not count toward the cost.

No word on how much they sell for -- dignity costs would vary by individual, making the true expense hard to estimate, I would imagine. Also no word on whether several women, who'd, say, been serially raped, could buy several kits together to cut per-kit costs. Or whether the kits could be pre-purchased at current market rates, before inflation inevitably raises the price tag.

Here's a borderline-offensive video on the subject...(Offensive, but funny. You know, if you think these things can ever be funny.)

The kits are reportedly about $500 each.
