Here's a different link, from the one I provided to you a few minutes ago:
Gov. Perry Establishes HPV Vaccination Program for Young Women - Feb 2, 2007
"Requiring young girls to get vaccinated before they come into contact with HPV is responsible health and fiscal policy that has the potential to significantly reduce cases of cervical cancer and mitigate future medical costs."
And here is the same link I gave a few minutes ago:
Gov. Rick Perry's Remarks Regarding the HPV Vaccine Legislation - May 5, 2007
I have never seen so much misinformation spread about a vital public health issue, whether it is the effectiveness of the vaccine, the impact of the order on parents' decision-making authority, or the impact this will have on the behavior of young women. But the fact remains: my order always has been and always will be about protecting women's health. And while I respect the voice of the legislature, this issue has never been about the separation of powers, but the saving of lives.Those legislators who claim this is about their right to determine public policy have succeeded in overturning my order. But if they care about succeeding in stopping the spread of the second most deadly cancer among women, and not just asserting their power, then they will turn around and pass legislation to make access to the HPV vaccine as widely available as possible. Instead, they have sent me a bill that will ensure three-quarters of our young women will be susceptible to a virus that not only kills hundreds each year, but causes great discomfort and harm to thousands more. Instead of vaccinating close to 95 percent of our young women, and virtually eliminating the spread of the most common STD in America, they have relegated the lives of our young women to social Darwinism, where only those who can afford it, or those who understand the virtues of it, will get access to the HPV vaccine.

The phony scandal has come full circle.
Its been overplayed.
And you want to characterize Gov. Perry’s passionate appeal for access to a life saving vaccine as, “passionate defense of the mandate as government policy.”
Thank you for posting the links and the quotes.
