Rick Perry tried that here in Texas - but then backed off because the Religous Fanatics were screaming 'he was making pre-marital sex ok!'. It's been about the only thing he's done in office that I might approve of, if it weren't for the fact that he did it because of the huge kickback he got from the vaccine manufacturors.

>I have a separate but connected query for you: if there were a vaccine to prevent HPV infection, including the variants associated with most cervical cancers, but only if it is given before infection occurs which has an association with sexual activity: would it be OK to make it compulsory for girls under the age of 12 to help stop the huge increase in aggressive cervical cancer we're seeing in young women? (The vaccine is called Gardasil, fwiw) ... or how about vaccinating boys on the assumption that those dirty dogs are where the girls are getting it from?
