		<strong>CULTURE BUZZ</strong>:  
		<strong>These kits help women collect evidence anonymously after a rape, but were always prohibitively expensive. Starting in 2009, all states will be required to pay for anonymous rape kits, even if the woman isn&#8217;t planning on pressing charges.</strong>
		Well, there&#8217;s not much good news to give rape victims, but at least now, prosecuting rape cases will get a lot easier starting in 2009. It&#8217;s nice to see our country progressing in some form.
