It wasn’t a relatively small number of cases where folks couldn’t afford it. Hispanics in Texas are a majority not a minority. And that majority, in Texas, has a very high rate of teen pregnancy, which means many young Hispanic girls are having sexual intercourse instead of practicing abstinence and are at high risk for contracting HPV.

Even so, Perry understands that he made the wrong decision. And ultimately, the EO was overturned and young girls were not vaccinated by force against their parents’ wishes.

Those hispanics you are referring to were more than likely Illegals.

And it's their parents responsibility to take care of them not Daddy-DayCare Big Government Nanny Rick Perry.

BuckeyeTexan: “It wasn’t a relatively small number of cases where folks couldn’t afford it.”

That’s your perception. There are plenty of studies which show the “poor” generally have all the comforts of modern society, like TVs, cell phones, cars, etc.

Whether it was a small number or not is really irrelevant when one considers the approach taken. Governor Perry professes to be a Christian. Certainly he understands the concept of charity.

How is Perry’s approach fundamentally different from Bush’s $30 billion AIDS campaign in Africa? Either one of them could have created private charitable foundations, donated their own money, and used their popularity to campaign for (voluntary) donations. Both of them probably have plenty of friends with deep pockets, right?

Remind me again of which party sees government as the solution to every problem?
