Um, Perry signed included an opt-out for parents in his EO. Apparently, you can’t tell the difference between giving the shot with parental consent as opposed to doing so without it.

apparently, you can’t tell the entire truth.
i actually LIKE Perry, and am willing to vote for him.
but that was a BAD decision.
Freepers from Texas reported here long ago,
that the “opt out” wasn’t as clean as you imply.
and, it wasn’t PERMANENT.
that it had to be notarized, and renewed periodically.
and, if you objected for other reasons than given,
it forced you to perjure yourself.
again, Perry’s strong executive leadership, and conservative principles, outweigh this.
but, he is not perfect. and being less than accurate,
is unfair to him.

That’s a deal breaker as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think I could vote for a candidate who would let the state insert itself in a family’s life in such a way, especially when there is so much controversy about this vacine, and especially since I know he got a campaign contribution from the drug company.
I don’t care about his so-called “conservative” values. He’s not a conservative as far as I’m concerned.
One of us can't and that would be you.

The order included an opt-out "in order to protect the right of parents to be the final authority on their children's health care." Perry ordered the Department of State Health Services to allow parents dissenting for philosophical or religious reasons to request a conscientious objection affidavit form. That form, which has been available since 2003, enables parents to enroll their children in public school even if they lack state-required immunizations. It's automatically granted as long as parents provide all required information.
What conservative principles???
He has none.
He is a jelly bean that can be molded
I also opposed the EO, because the opt out provisions were onerous and could have put parents into a database that would enable CPS to harass parents.
