There are many scary things in this world, and one of the scariest is cancer. HPV IS a preventable disease if you take the right precautions. If you get the vaccinations at an early enough age, the chances of you ever contracting the disease goes WAY down. Making it mandatory for teenage girls to get this vaccine IS a good idea, and it does NOT in any way promote sex. It does not take away from abstinence only teaching (which in my personal opinion is an ignorant way to teach). All it does is protect these girls, who will in time become young women, who WILL eventually have sex. What’s wrong with protecting our daughters, our sisters, our friends?
You can read an article here, about Rick Perry’s decision to make it mandatory for teenage girls in Texas to get the HPV vaccine and the following aftermath.
Just as a side not: Do we really want a guy as our president who makes (in my opinion) a GOOD decision and then turns around and says it was a mistake because he’s getting criticized?
