here's the material you started with.
here's your premise:

while it's emotionally charged and tied, this should be about fiscal respnosibility.

the responses you are getting that you refuse to understand amount to a rejection of this statement.
everything you have done is about you trying to define the implications of this.
and most of the responses have come back to you saying that your frame is not acceptable, your attempts to define the notion of "fiscal responsibility" mis-state the situation, that there are other ways of thinking about and resolving this matter, even in principle---and because there are other ways of resolving it, playing around with the funding concerning these "rape kits" comes back to the matter of the political valence you assign rape victims.
THAT is the problem.
nothing you have said from within your arguments, the premise of which is fucked up, gets back to this level, which is the source of your problems.
then you said this:

so then who pays for it? It obviously isn't free. and should I have to pay for it when someone lies like Tawana Brawley?

at which point you framed yourself as speaking from the position of an ass.
but you are surprised at the responses to your line of argument.
and you're pissy about it.
