QUOTE Gov. Rick Perry's executive order has inflamed conservatives who say it contradicts Texas' abstinence-only sexual education policies and intrudes into family lives. Some critics also have questioned whether the vaccine has been proven safe. The House voted 118-23 on Wednesday to approve a bill that would keep the vaccine off the list of required shots for school attendance. The measure now heads to the state Senate, where more than half the members are co-sponsoring an identical bill. "Dammit. It's our right as Texans to let our children get cancer-causing infections if we want to!" -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

maybe I'm missing something, but how the hell does the bill "contradict Texas' abstinence-only sexual education policies and intrudes into family lives"?
I agree though the bill is stupid. which is probably why it was defeated in a landslide. |

I agree though the bill is stupid. which is probably why it was defeated in a landslide. The strains of human papillomavirus that the vaccine protects against are sexually-transmitted strains. So basically Texas would be saying "hey don't have sex, but we know you're little horny fuckers anyway, so take this shot". -------------------- |
