SACRAMENTO, CA, September 1, 2011--AB 499, the bill that permits 12 year old children to give consent without their parents' knowledge for vaccines or other medication to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, passed the CA Senate yesterday on a 22-17 vote. The Governor could take action on the bill any time between September 9 and October 9. Ask the governor to veto AB 499. (See how senators voted)
This bill is one of the most egregious violations of parental rights, next to the right to provide abortions for minors without parent knowledge. If it passes, parents will have no right to decide whether or not their child will receive vaccinations that could jeopardize their health. Additionally, children will be approached by Planned Parenthood and other adults encouraging them to be vaccinated to prepare them to become sexually active.
AB 499 is an outrage that must be stopped, but it will take a massive public outcry to do it.
Please ask the governor to veto AB 499 today. It is critical to get others to call as well.
This bill is an end run by the pharmaceutical giant Merck to push their vaccine, Gardasil, on California children at taxpayer's expense. A major public outcry in 2007 killed an effort to make the vaccinations mandatory when Merck proposed it then.
Now, if AB 499 becomes law, children as young as 12 years old will face coercion from adults motivated by profit or other agendas to receive vaccines that they don't need and could be harmful.
The Center for Disease Control has reported deaths of 51 girls and 2 boys after being administered Gardasil, just one of the vaccines covered by this bill. There are many more reports of children maimed for life from the drug. (See http://truthaboutgardasil.org/.) Children are not equipped to evaluate risks and stand up to pressure from adults without the support of their parents. Former Merck researcher, Dr. Diane Harper says, “It is silly to mandate vaccination of 11- to 12-year-old girls... There also is not enough evidence gathered on side effects to know that safety is not an issue."
It is time for parents and anyone who cares about the welfare of California’s children to mobilize," said CCG Chair William B. May. "Let’s flood the governor's office with phone calls and letters. Governor Jerry Brown to veto AB 499. It is bad healthcare policy, and an attack on the rights of parents and the rights of children to have the protection and guidance of their parents."
Parental rights
Democrats keep removing rights inch by inch,welcom to 1930’s Germany.
Rick Perry apologizes for killing your daughters, how nice. He pimped for big pharma and the globalist so he could become prez. And you sheeple are going right along with it. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!
Did he apologize for being Al Gore’s #1 man in his Texas campaign?
Did he apologize for going along with Hillary Care?
Did he aplogize for signing over Texas hiways to foreign biz?
Ron Paul owes no apology to anyone! How bout a real American Ron Paul 2012!
My 12 year old already knows everything. So I am sure she would be right to choose her own vaccinations...And substitute candy for veggies, and trade out her school day for her ipod touch. I guess I can retire as parent.

Well, my 13 year old doesn’t. But then she didn’t go to public schools.
Liar.
It’s not about liberals and conservatives, it’s about profit for big pharma at our expense and taking away our rights. They — the corporations and government (that is both the so called Republicans and the so called Democrats) — work together to keep us divided into artificial groups so that they can go ahead with their agenda of stripping us of our rights and keeping us working for their profit. Slavery was abolished and replaced with student loans, $4 gas, increasing food prices, and decreasing pay so that every member of the family has to work to pay the debts AND put food on the table.
