Amendment Keeps Taxpayers from Funding Mandatory HPV Vaccines
The U.S. House passed an amendment Wednesday that will keep the government from funding mandatory vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Republican Reps. Phil Gingrey of Georgia and Jim Jordan of Ohio introduced the amendment following efforts across the country to require young girls to receive the vaccine to attend school.
Merck & Co.s Gardasil vaccine protects against the four most common strains of HPV, a sexually transmitted infection. Focus on the Family Action supports widespread availability of the vaccine, but holds that parents should make the decision of whether their daughters are vaccinated.
Linda Klepacki, sexual health analyst for Focus Action, said: We applaud the passing of this amendment preserving parental choice.
No, what we are discussing is people who will quite willingly cast aside Constitutional principles of governance when it suits their purposes.
And yes doll face, I'm talking about you.
So, don't pay your taxes
I do pay my taxes. Congress quite clearly has the power to lay and collect taxes. It's spelled out in Article 3, Section 8 of the Constitution.
What isn't spelled out there is the enumerated power (there's that phrase that you seem to have so much trouble getting into your pretty little head) to force the entire US population to undergo some kind of mass medical experiment whether it proves beneficial or not.
It's just women with cancer, after all. Nobody you'd care about.
For your information my mother has survived cancer twice so I hope you'll take this next little bit in the spirit it's offered.
Go **** yourself.

It also does not protect from any of the other, more gruesome, STDs currently raging through the population.
Far better to educate your own children on these perils and provide the moral support that will help them resist the incessant pull of the moral relativists (...and pull them out of government schools)...IMHO
