HPV can cause genital warts and various cancers, including cervical cancer. But it usually presents with no symptoms. And there is no currently no reliable test on the market that can tell if a man has HPV.

I don't support any government mandates. But it is insane for religious, Bible-believing parents to discourage their daughters from getting the HPV vaccine. If you've raised your daughter properly, she won't turn into a whore because she got one vaccine. If you didn't raise her properly, then the least of her worries is one day getting cervical cancer. But if she doesn't get the vaccine, she'll run a very serious risk in the event that her husband isn't as virginal or faithful as she is.

So let's be clear here do you support big government health care mandates issued via an Executive Order circumventing all other branches of government for a noncontagious disease or do you oppose them?

Do you recognize the MONUMENTALLY POOR JUDGEMENT displayed in that decision?

Sorry, but the government mandating a vaccine for a sexually acquired disease still sends the message to girls that the government, and the culture by extension, believes the girls cannot control themselves and have no self-control, no effective moralility where sex is concerned.

It also takes the decision out of the Parents hands and makes the State the parent.

This is wrong on so many levels. If you believe this is a valid function of government, your conservatism is lacking.
