The problem with the Gardisil issue is that he brought it up and mandated it.

did you know there was an opt-out?

An opt-in would be stupid and I sincerely hope I don't have to explain why.

Yes, I know that, it means the parents have to go somewhere and sign something saying they don't want this. Sometimes that's not so easy.

It's a problem. You can pretend it isn't, but mandating it rather than suggesting it as an enlightened course of action (which it wasn't), is so far from the right thing to do, it makes my head spin.

It ought to make anyone claiming to be conservative angry as H*ll.......instead, people on this forum are defending him as if it was the right thing to do.

Did you know that you had to get the governments permission to opt out?

As in:

Parents’ Rights.The Department of State Health Services will, in order to protect the right of parents to be the final authority on their children’s health care, modify the current process in order to allow parents to submit a request for a conscientious objection affidavit form via the Internet while maintaining privacy safeguards under current law.

This executive order supersedes all previous orders on this matter that are in conflict or inconsistent with its terms and this order shall remain in effect and in full force until modified, amended, rescinded, or superseded by me or by a succeeding governor.

Given under my hand this the 2nd day of February, 2007.

I'm sure you'd all be cool with Obamacare if it had an "opt out" where you could "submit a request as a concientious objector" and have the government decide whether your request met their standards.

Right?
