And does the risk that someone might make a bad decision really justify the government stepping in and dictating to people what they are to do and how they are to live their lives? For what? To protect them from themselves? Who's going to protect us from the government? And what if it turns out that there are unforeseen complications that result? What then? Guess who gets to live with THOSE consequences, and it isn't the governor who issued the order.

Especially when the government is only stepping in because they are being paid off. I'm surprised more people aren't outraged over the fact that Perry is being bought off right before our very eyes. One only has to look at where former members of his staff are ending up, in order to see what's coming next. If he can do something to benefit a campaign donor or former staff member, consider it done.

Texas is turning into Louisiana.

Logically, if the government has the power to restrict what you can put in your body, the government has the power to dictate must be put in your body. For the vaccine to be effective in controling cervical cancer, as many people as possible must be vaccinated. So when it comes to public health issues, I fully support and endorse mass vaccinations. If you don't want it, you have to jump through hoops not to get it and that's the way the laws for mandatory vaccinations are, including this one.
