Arkan Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070202/ap_on_...rvical_cancer_7 AUSTIN, Texas - Bypassing the Legislature altogether, Republican Gov. Rick Perry issued an order Friday making Texas the first state to require that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer. By employing an executive order, Perry sidestepped opposition in the Legislature from conservatives and parents' rights groups who fear such a requirement would condone premarital sex and interfere with the way Texans raise their children. Beginning in September 2008, girls entering the sixth grade "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guard Dog Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Giving people the option is one thing, but FORCING people to take a drug? Bad precedent. Very, VERY bad precedent.

Tale Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 People, in general, are morons.

Oerwinde Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) People, in general, are morons. I'm not a fan of "options" that allow the ignorant to put their own, or their children's, lives in needless danger. Seat belts are a primary example of this. Some sextuplets were born here about a month ago to a Jehovah's Witness couple. They were premature and Jehovah's witnesses are against blood transfusions. So two of the babies died and the rest were seized by the BC government and given blood transfusions to save their lives. A recent poll shows 85% of BC agree with the governments decision to save the lives of the babies against the wishes of the parents. I'm just surprised that 15% don't support it. Sure religious rights are important... but not when they endanger the life of a child. Edited February 3, 2007 by Oerwinde The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Sand Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) Vaccinations are a good thing.

Sand Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) God has nothing to do with it. It all boils down to luck. When something happens that is unexpected or has no logical explanation people like to blame or give God the credit and not just accept that things happen, there is no rhyme or reason behind it, and you just need to accept it and move on.

LadyCrimson Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Assuming this vaccination has been tested long enough or otherwise decided to have low risk of possible negative short/long-term side effects, then I have nothing against such a policy for any vaccination against communicable and/or life threatening diseases. Would they object as much if they came up with a working vaccine for ebola, or alzheimers, or....? Perhaps illogically tho, I consider the seatbelt issue (for adults) irritating and still object to it... :bunny: “Things are as they are.

LoneWolf16 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 To repeat the general consensus....what the hell's wrong with this? They're vaccinating against cancer.

Gfted1 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 What every one of you has failed to notice is that cancer is not an airborn communicable disease so immunization isnt "required" like the other examples that have been cited. This is not "for the greater good" as all anyone has to do to prevent this cancer is have safe sex.
