Or, is Texas Gov. Rick Perry doing the right thing by requiring schoolgirls as young as 11 to be vaccintated against the sexually transmitted disease?
And what does this mean for his conservative Christan support base, that don't want the government imposing its will on the indivdual?
And did Perry sell out to Merck lobbists for money?

It completely blows my mind that a Gubernatorial Executive Order could be used in this kind of completely NON-emergent situation. Even though HPV -may- be the largest cause of cervical cancer, Guardasil doesn't protect against -all- of the causes of cervical cancer, doesn't necessarily provide 100% protection even against HPV, and, even if a person were to get HPV, as a midwife I was taught that over 80% of those infections clear up ON THEIR OWN, without even having any symptoms, and another 10% clear up with palliative treatment and no after effects...and without increasing the risk of cancer in that individual. This is ridiculous!
