Perry = forcing young children to get VD vaccines without parental consent
Perry = nazi (aka Dem) party member - proud member of the official abortion party and the official big government party and the official public service union party and the official party of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton (Reagan was a democrat when it was still plausible to be both a patriotic God-fearing constitutionalist and a dem)
Perry = giving hugely expensive benefits to illegal immigrants (stands by the law he signed forcing ridiculously subsidized government colleges to admit illegals as if they were legal Texas residents - tuition at these schools does NOT cover the cost of running them, so inm effect even illegals get thousands of dollars of free stuff if they sign up for Universidad Perry - and of course many illegals probably do not even pay tuition)
Perry = oops
That’s not true about the (Gardasil) vaccination “without parent’s consent.”
The Legislature had given sole authority to the Department of State Health Services to mandate vaccines, just as they already did for Hepatitis B, which is given to newborns and which is transmitted by blood and bodily fluids.
However, it’s always been the law in Texas that we obtain consent for any vaccine from the parents. We already had an “opt out” procedure, but the parent had to write or visit Austin to ask for a certain form with a security seal to request the form for the opt out. The Governor advertised this opt out clause and made it easier for parents to request the form by ordering that the request be available online.
From RP65, the Executive Order in question:
http://governor.state.tx.us/news/executive-order/3455/
“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.”
While the Dem party does endorse abortion, not all members, even today, are pro-aborts. We have a “Democrats for Life” here in Texas who are working within the Party to change the platform. I’ve been a speaker at their annual Convention.
