They were nudged a bit by Perry’s enemies and the people who hated the easing of the Opt out process in the same Executive Order.
The trouble is that the latter group is now forced to act as though mandatory is wrong on one, single, vaccine. That didn’t stop them from pushing mandatory menningitis vaccines for college admission.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the pro-abort, pro-sex-plus crowd was furious to discover that Governor Perry acted on Gardasil. After all, they’ve been saying that the pro-life, pro-abstinent, pro-family conservatives hate sex and think everyone who has sex outside of marriage should get an STD and die.
All I care about is that Perry, capitulated to the masses while giving people the option for the vaccine.
You cant regulate stupid.
