"She didnt hear the part about “opt out”

It has only been stated over and over but some people only hear what they want to hear and others lie about what they heard.

Eaker, I knew about the opt-out clause, but I was nonetheless offended that my Governor would issue an edict from on high, forcing my daughter to take this vaccine, unless I signed a piece of paper choosing otherwise.

I think (and apparently so do lots of others, including the Texas legislature) that it was wrong, heavy-handed, and a slap in the face of our shared American principles to go about it that way.

I got the impression that Perry thought the same thing upon further reflection and admitted that he was wrong. I don't fault him for his passionate desire to protect girls from cervical cancer; and I do appreciate him saying that he was wrong.
