I think there is a very important fact that is being overlooked in this whole argument. By giving this vaccine to young girls, you are condoning the activity from which the disease is contracted.

Like hell! You can control your behavior, you cannot control the behavior of others. Even if your daughter maintains her virtue until marriage, she cannot be certain her future husband wasn't exposed and neither can he. You cannot be certain she won't be the victim of rape.

The vaccine is common sense insurance against risks in the face of unknowable future circumstances.

Folks with your kind of thinking must believe serious illness only befalls those who are in some way guilty of doing something immoral, deserving of suffering or early death.

Like 'common sense' gun laws help prevent shooting deaths?

All kinds of statist nonsense has been put forth under the guise of common sense and being for the children. So much that both phrases have become cliches among conservatives.

We’re talking about 6th grade girls, not grown women entering into marriage. Maybe if there were more “folks like me” there wouldn’t be so much promiscuity in this country. You can control the behavior of your 11 or 12 year old daughter. You don’t let them go on dates at that age, especially one on one alone with a young boy. It’s done all the time. But one thing you don’t do is give them the signal that it is OK to have sex as long as you’re protected from pregnancy and STDs. They definitely won’t be refraining from the behavior under those circumstances.
