Opting-Out of HPV Vaccine WILL NOT WORK for Many in Texas Governor Perry is misleading legislators and families in Texas by claiming that they will be able to opt-out of having their 6th grade daughter vaccinated with the vaccine for the sexually transmitted virus HPV. For many families currently, the exemption isnt worth the piece of paper it is printed on. Besides the simple fact that parents should not have to get permission from the state to make informed consent medical decisions for their own children, here are four reasons why opting-out of sate mandated vaccines doesnt work for many families in Texas:

And don't forget that Kay Hutchison's campaign taught the Dems a thing or two about dirty campaigning, and Perry went on to trounce her.
Very true. And the Texas Tea Party came out in force to support him. Its weird that people who say they’re conservatives are trashing him.
“who say theyre conservatives”
There’s your key. They are merely keyboard ideologues, and they consider anyone who doesn’t meet their ridiculous standards as “Rinos.” They couldn’t get elected dogcatcher anywhere with their rigid ideologies.
We all know that Perry lost the implementation battle that is not the point.
The point is he was using the opt out crap as a way to cover his misdeed....anyone can clearly see that the “OPT_OUT” was a farce and would not have significantly provided an option for parents.
"RINO" tops my list of political buzzwords that ought to be retired because they're completely devoid of meaning. RINO on FR basically means "anyone who says they're a Republican but disagrees with me or with my favorite candidate". Not very informative, if you ask me.
RR is churning in his grave.
Yes, but there is no option to opt out of the property taxes which pay for those public schools. Those parents would essentially be paying for education twice.
“And it is a parents choice to send his kids to a private school.”
Of which many did not accept the opt outs.
Just why do you believe We the People must “opt out” of a tyrannical law??? Because it is a Republican candidate being held to creating it?
Funny, my daughter was never coerced to get vaccinated when she went into 6th grade.
It was such a non issue that it was forgotten until now.
I know what this is about, people who are obsessed over the Gardasil issue have another agenda,you just aren’t intellectually honest enough to post it. That’s okay, your ability to reason has also been exposed.
Mr. Perry's dictatorial executive order to force it upon 12 year old girls is very consequential and not a sign of a leader we can tolerate.
Mr. Perry's reaction to the Texas Legislature's take-back of his overreaching EO is quite telling. At the time the Texas Legislature revoked his order, Perry acted just like Obama, arrogantly truculent, refusing to accept honest rebuke, using play actors and straw dogs to isolate himself like a MacBeth in his Castle, mocking his opponents with naught effect but folly.
But worst of all is the reaction post-debate of the Perry supporters. Some much of it is the horrid and detestable "STFU" reaction, or arrogantly dismissive statements like "those who are against it are the dangerous people", "[opponents] deserve pity and ridicule", or "[opponents] can't comprehend what this is all about/i>".
Bullying behavior. We've sen it in the Global Warming Scam, we saw it here in Pennsylvania in the GOP whenever Spector ran for Senate. The party bullies insisted, demanded, enforced Spector support in the primaries and said to the Toomey supporters "STFU", "get outta here".
Well after he won reelection Specter defected, and all that internal GOP bullying resulted in the enemies gaining control of the US Senate.
Bullying on behalf on your choice of candidate is a sure poisoning of the community well. It is incredibly destructive.
