"But state lawmakers nixed the plans after aggressive lobbying by religious conservatives, who argued that vaccinating young girls could promote promiscuity."

It's true madness when a kid may have to be taken to another state to get a vaccine against CANCER because some idiots are afraid of it.

A drug company paid off politicians to push these laws all over the country. Our idiot Gov. Rick Perry signed up to “help” snd got slapped down.

"But state lawmakers nixed the plans after aggressive lobbying by religious conservatives, who argued that vaccinating young girls could promote promiscuity."

As someone who is both religious and conservative, religious conservatives are more and more ticking me off. The argument that a vaccine would promote promiscuity boggles the mind for so many reasons, not the least of which is that it assumes teenagers are doing a precise risk/reward analysis when they decide to have sex.

And what do these arbiters of all that is good and holy have to say about the circumstances where the woman does not have sex until she is married, but her husband has, and is a carrier of HPV. Should she be put at risk for cervical cancer to satisfy some kind of agenda? Or should we stick our heads in the sand and pretend that all religious people refrain from sexual activity until they are married? GAH! It's madness.

Others were turned off by what they saw as heavy-handed lobbying by the drug's maker, Merck and Co. Critics saw a drug company trying to get rich.

That's got my vote.
