It’s been this way forever. Nobody is going to force a young Nazerene or AOG girl to have this vaccine against her wishes, or those of her parents.

I, on the other hand, will be escorting my 14-year-old daughter straight to the front of the line.

For example, I think if you want to reduce abortions, outlawing them won’t work so well, but education – about everything from abstinence, responsibility before sex, responsibilty to use birth control, and help if pregnancy does occur – could really help.

But to the Right, it still leaves open the POSSIBILITY of SEX! And that will not do.

But it’s not so obvious to the public because the issue of “life of the unborn” is in play.

Here, it’s simple. They would rather promiscuous women DIE.

It’s simple. With a vaccine, people don’t die. Without it, they die BUT WE DON’T LIKE SEX, so it’s ok.

This should be slammed in the Religious Right’s face, hard!

“They just don’t want people having sex. They will do ANYTHING to stop the rest of us from it. They are shameless.”

Just my thoughts.

Seriously, pretty soon they’re going to be saying letting women out of the house without a chastity belt on is giving them a license to engage in premarital sex.

Can you just see a teenage not giving into her throbbing biological urges – because she hasn’t been vaccinated for this obscure disease? We can’t even get the sillys cows to wear condoms!

I would really like to see citations for these bizarre quotes — who is saying these irresponsible things and in what venue?

glad you recognise the principles of evolution, at least in some form. The rest of your reasoning seems a bit flawed, to put it mildly.

Those vaccines we have for smallpox, polio and T.B. — still doing the job, dude. Likewise, even when the disease agent evolves, a vaccine can likewise be updated.

In contrast to your position, a civilized society should not condone, endorse or tolerate needless sickness, suffering, pain and death MERELY because no remedy will be 100% effective.

Particularly since the standard of 100% effectiveness or “forever” effectiveness is NOT even remotely viable. No scientist or medical doctor would apply such a standard to ANY medical treatment, vaccine or otherwise

That’s none. Not even aspirin. But we should sacrafice people to cancer because the vaccine might what? Be only 95% effective? For say, 10 years before it needs replacement?

So all those lives, all that pain and suffering, and all that money — should be sacraficed on the altar of your notions of sexuality.

Do you, btw, profess a religion? What god is this? Baal? Beelzebub?

The issue of pre-martial sex is just red-herring: just an excuse for some teribly ill-informed people to impose their political agenda upon others.

This is–or should be–a straight-forward public health matter.

Your case against the vaccine is contemptous. At best.

No one seems to bring up the Jimmie Swaggart type who screws hookers between his rants against women having control of their own bodies! So what if one of these a-holes comes home to his wife after the prostitiute and gives her an STD? In the view of Ultra C’s, she is supposes to die a quiet and obediant death of cancer? Why is it that these a-holes NEVER are concerned about cheating spouses, rape and child molestation?! Answer—because their interest is in controling the destinies of women using their bodies as hostage. If a woman is raped—oh abortion is the greater evil, not rape. If a girl is molested by evil Rev. Uncle, she is not to have a vaccination or birth control or an abortion.

I wish these a-holes would get off of their smug and smirking attempts to force women into submission through using their own bodies against them.

It’s time to stop these a-holes, and NO, abstinence is not the answer! The common people should not be expected to take vows of celibacy like priests and nuns! Priests and nuns don’t always obey that anyway, and if they can’t how are we expected to–besides, we need to protect the innocent–like the little girl who is abused by grandpa, and the teenager who is pressured by her boyfriend, and the woman who is raped in her own home…….

Oh of course it’s these womens’ faults and they should have no contraception, no abortion, no vaccine against HPV, and no choices at all!

Only the ultr-conservative religious men get to make choices—for everybody and especially women.
