An adopted teen who has lived in Port St. Joe, Fla. since she was 3 faces possible deportation to England for refusing a vaccination, she and her mother say.
Simone Davis, 17, said she has no need for the vaccine Gardasil, which guards against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus virus, because she is not sexually active, ABC News reported.
But the U.S. government requires female immigrants between the ages of 11 and 26 to receive Gardasil shots before they can become citizens.
Simone was abandoned as a baby in England and adopted at 3 by her paternal grandmother, Jean Davis, who married an American and moved to Port St. Joe, Fla.
Jean Davis started applying for citizenship for Simone nearly 10 years ago, ABC said.
As a devout Christian who has taken a virginity pledge, Simone argues she is in no danger of getting cervical cancer and sees no reason to get the vaccine. American-born girls are encouraged, but not required, to get the vaccine.
Simone and Jean Davis sought a waiver on moral and religious grounds, but were turned down. They have 30 days to appeal the ruling. Without citizenship, Simone can be sent back to England, ABC said.
"I kind of feel like they may be experimenting with immigrants to see how we will react and then give the vaccine to citizens," Simone said. "If it is such a great vaccine, why isn't it mandatory for everyone?"

Why do you keep posting to someone named “Tiger_eye?” Can’t you cut and paste either?

It’s a non-sequitur. She hasn’t broken a law.

Uhhh... if you haven’t been found guilty or in violation of something you wouldn’t need to appeal anything.
When was the last time you heard of a guiltless person appealing something.

You can't spell, your grammar is poor, you use straw-men, you use sophistry, you make up your own facts, you ignore the facts presented, you make blanket accusations against all FReepers, you made a personal accusation against me, you use ad-hominems, you change the subject.
You are without a doubt the most pathetic debater FR has ever seen. Your IQ must be lower than a turnip's.

When was the last time you heard of a guiltless person appealing something.When someone gets an IRS judgment that they don't agree with. Need any more examples of simple rulings that are appealed all the time with no accusation of law breaking or regulation violations, genius?

Not to mention all of the guiltless people arrested and tried for crimes they didn’t commit. They appeal rulings also.

Are people whom are arrested for possession of drugs guilty of a crime or not? Certainly they feel that the law is in just. They may have been caught red handed and anybody who may know them. May know that they're addicts whom willfully disobey the law of the lands. Are you saying that you don't believe in presumed innocence and a trial before a jury of one's peers?
Dane, why do you hate the United States and it's constitution?

Your name calling and grammatical policing as opposed to addressing the points, tells me that I'm right.

No, it tells you that you are stupid. It should also tell you that when you start in with accusations and ad-hominems you’ll get them back.

I addressed each of your points and you ignored each of my rebuttals. You had nothing left to say did you? There is a trail of unanswered questions to you on this thread.

I'm saying that's she's already had her trial and she was found in violation. Her punishment has been assigned. She is now attempting to appeal the decision or lessen the punishment levied against her. But it doesn't change the fact that her first trial found her to be in blatant disregard as to the terms of her stay.
The particular case does not afford her a jury of her peers, but she has been given due process and continues to game the system in order to change the outcome of her fate.

If we say we agree will you go away?

This is amazing isn’t it? Being deported is a punishment and filing an appeal is gaming the system. ROTFLOL Have you ever encountered such a twisted view of our legal system? It’s like Dane isn’t an American.

Your rebuttals have consisted of nothing more than name calling and posturing. Anything of relative substance has already been addressed and your retorts to those have been nothing more than more name calling and posturing.
Policing spelling and grammar seems to be the only points in which you can cling to. Now if only the rest of your arguments had as much weight...

I am glad you are ready to take the pledge for Obama and be his slave.
