Yeah, a knee jerk executive order mandating gardasil has more in common with Obama than conservatism.

…….”The Gardasil vaccine was recommended the FDA’s vaccine approval committee, more than 6 months before Governor Perry’s Executive Order. All girls who qualified for the Federal Vaccines for Children program were eligible to receive the vaccine free of charge: Medicaid, CHIPs, and uninsured or those with insurance that won’t pay for vaccines. The Texas Legislature had previously delegated unconditional authority to mandate new vaccines to the Department of State Health Services, which is under Governor Perry and the Executive Branch.” Source

And Gov. Perry made it easier for parents to opt out of ALL vaccines at the same time.

Did you get that talking point faxed from the Perry camp, or do you have those on file somewhere?

As I said before... if this has an 'opt out', then why mandate it at all? Answer: Perry let emotion override reason and sound judgment to which he admitted in New Hampshire in August.
