July 6, 2011 Christian Post….While Perry has a good relationship with social conservatives, they have not always seen eye to eye. In 2007, Perry proposed requiring all school-aged girls to receive the HPV vaccine. Concerned Women for America was one of the groups that thought that the vaccine should carry an opt-in provision, in which parents would sign their kids up to receive the free vaccination, rather than Perry's proposed opt-out provision, in which all female school children would automatically receive the vaccine unless their parents explicitly requested that they not receive the vaccine.
Ann Hettinger, Concerned Women for America's state director of Texas, was instrumental in convincing Perry to change his proposal to an opt-in provision. When asked if Perry's original plans for the HPV vaccine would be an issue if he were to run for president, Nance replied, “It would've been an issue if he had not fixed it.”…..
That is what I like about Perry, he is able to adapt. If he thinks one way and it is not popular, he is willing to change. On the other hand, we have Obama and OBAMACARE.
It appears the leaders don't think much of her and are waiting for either Perry or Palin to jump into the race, at least according to your article. They are explaining it's not sexism that is keeping them from endorsing her, rather the hope that a better, more complete candidate will carry the social conservative banner, i.e.: Palin or Perry.
I totally understand, Michelle Bachmann is a good conservative congrescritter, but has little executive experience, few (if any) achievements, and support is being withheld while they wait for a better candidate.
