>>Exactly! Anyone who has (or has ever been close to anyone with) Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases or a spinal cord injury should be writing a letter to every twit who voted against this. For that matter anyone with diabetes should get a pen out too. Heck the more I think about it, the longer this list gets.

Oh yes - this is another subject that really ticks me off. For some reason these conservative bible thumpers here in the USA are under the impression that vaccinating a woman against a deadly disease will turn her into a whore.

Here's what Bridget Maher of the Family Research Council says:
"Giving the HPV vaccine to young women could be potentially harmful because they may see it as a license to engage in premarital sex."

Leslie Unruh, of the National Abstinence Clearinghouse, says: "If you don't want to suffer these diseases, you need to abstain ... I personally object to vaccinating children against a disease that is 100% percent preventable with proper sexual behaviour."

According to these folks and other bible tumping idiots - vacinate your daugther and you'll turn her into a tramp! So much for the so called "Christian compassion".
