“The original order did include an opt out, “in order to protect the right of parents to be the final authority on their children’s health care” as Perry ordered the Texas Department of State Health Services to allow parents dissenting for philosophical or religious reasons to request a conscientious objection affidavit form. “
If you can say no, how is something “mandatory”?
Wow, that didn’t even come close to addressing my points. Let’s try this again. Where does a governor (let’s say of any state and of any political party) get the right to force a vaccine of a non-contagious disease on the general population?! So let’s forget about the absurdity of imposing this little tested drug on all 6th grade girls and just think about how nanny state, big government that particular executive order is.
The fact that a parent is required to sign an affadvit to opt out of a non-contagious disease should already be raising first admendment alarm bells!!!
Just to touch back on the original context of you arguement here. You seem to inclinate that as long as there is an opt-out option than big government health mandates are no big deal?
Is that correct?
Do you feel the same way about Obamacare? I mean there are opt-options for Obamacare as well?
