Hello MacMattico:
The key thing you pointed out is that it is ultimately your informed decision to make. Obviously, Gov. Perry was wrong to make is mandatory with a questionable “opt-out” provision. Only to have the Texas legislature come out and void the executive order.
That’s true. I just watched the video at the link. I agree his decision was wrong, but he truly seemed to be a caring person trying to help, and he now admits he was wrong, so this won’t be the factor that makes me vote for or against him. Also, when you see him sitting with the girl as she’s dieing showing her pictures on his camera, it makes me think he’s so much more of a decent guy than what we have now.
My niece has HPV. She was told it was from having too much sex at an early age. She was told she probally not be able to have children.
3 children later, she has been tested several times but does not follow up. There is Cancer in the family and she is afraid to find out if something is wrong. Her children range in ages 3-10 yo. I wish there was something she could have taken when diagnosed, but I believe it must be taken before diagnosis. Being up front and personal with this situation, I believe the Guardasil should be given to all girls. They are not going to NOT have sex. Most don’t talk to their parents and at the very least a Dr should be able to counsel them on this. JMHO.
