>>>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 manufacturers.

>Are you sure the opposition wasn't to the usurpation of parental rights? FWIW, condoms don't prevent HPV since it can be spread simply by skin contact. And without being explicit, these days kids do things they don't consider to be sex but that definitely put them at risk. Virginity has little to do with it these days.

Yes, some opposition was because of that - but the opposition that made him back off was the RFF. Can't be torqueing off your voting base, can you?
