The State legislature, our representative government, has determined the lottery is acceptable. That does not mean that we have to determine that casino gambling is acceptable.
For the Gardasil, my argument is all over this forum, and the (still long) synopsis is here, http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=297887064231&1&index=1
Our differences aren't moral; I'm in favor of liberty, protecting inalienable rights and limiting the role of government, you are when it suits you. You want "your version" of morality legislated, I don't want yours or anyone else's.
You completely avoided my point on Perry, the lottery and gambling. No surprise, your logic is flawed.
Depriving young girls of their rights in the name of science is wrong, period. And based on your logic, it's immoral. That you're doctor only makes it worse.
Your position that you don’t want morality is absolutely a *moral* position. Deciding how to act on and arguing for right and wrong are most certainly acts based on moral positions.
You don’t like vaccines - or expect a physician to not like vaccines? Tell all the blind children who had measles, all the infants born with mental retardation due to mom’s catching Rubella while she was pregnant, tell the infertile boys due to Measles, mumps, and Rubella. Tell the victims of “lock jaw,” who never got their tetanus shots.
And, if you’d read the article, you’d see that the Governor also told the Department of Health and Human Service to make it *easier* to opt out of mandated vaccines. That the Legislature had passed law making it a burden to opt out - people had to file paperwork to access the paperwork and had to do it each year, for each child.
