If you are a parent please read this, and for sure if you are a Texas parent. Today the HPV vaccine, is big news in the Long Star State, because Gov. Rick Perry is mandating it for girls entering the sixth grade in 2008. Perry's move has turned off — some lawmakers in his own Republican Party (God Bless them). Some have asked the governor to rescind the order, but he's standing firm this is reason why we just can't vote for someone because Republican is next to their name. Just because you belong to the grand old party doesn't mean your a social conservative.
Today in Texas The State House will take its first step to overturn Gov. Rick Perry's mandate that schoolgirls be vaccinated against a sexually transmitted virus linked to cervical cancer.
"The governor has accomplished his goal of bringing attention to this issue," said Rep. Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton, author of the bill. "All citizens of Texas will have an opportunity to come to Austin to give an opinion."
Bonnen has signed up more than 60 members as co-authors of House Bill 1098.

"Providing the HPV vaccine doesn't promote sexual promiscuity any more than providing the Hepatitis B vaccine promotes drug use," Perry said in a statement. "If the medical community developed a vaccine for lung cancer, would the same critics oppose it claiming it would encourage smoking?"
As I wrote on another blog, (http://billydaviddickson.blogspot.com/2007/02/shot-for-sin-in-texas.html ) "if you don't smoke or are around smoke would you need the vaccine? Not! Sixth grade young ladies shouldn't be in bed with some-one. I guess this is what happens to a nation which has forgotten God, and His laws. I hope the good people of Texas next time this governor is up for election will not forget this.
