The aspirin argument is a red herring. Aspirin debilitates or kills people when they *overdose* on it -- a significantly different scenario than single shot debilitation and death associated with HPV vaccine. Furthermore, every contemporary school system I've associated with will *refuse* to give a child an aspirin unless a parent or guardian has *opted-in* in writing -- again a significantly different scenario than the executive order and opt-out red tape. If the HPV vaccine could only harm individuals overdosing on it, and was denied to every student not possessing parental consent in writing, parents would have nothing to complain about. That is not the case and parents concerned with the welfare of their children have a very legitimate gripe.

Really! Perhaps you should do a little research on aspirin before your credibility goes down the toilet like Michele Bachmann's.

*Children should never take aspirin, as aspirin use in children has been linked to Reye syndrome, which is deadly. With Reye's syndrome, fat builds up on the brain, liver and other organs of the body.

*If aspirin is taken during the last few months of pregnancy, it can harm the fetus.

*Cerebral hemorrhage can occur taking aspirin if you are on blood thinners.

None of the above examples are related to "overdose" of aspirin.

Another interesting fact: Approximately 5.5 million new HPV transmissions occur in the United States every year.

And lastly, the Perry executive order had an Opt Out clause so there was no chance of forced vaccinations.

Observation: Evidently Perry's got a very threatening record on economics to be discussing the dangers of aspirin as an issue to somehow get his poll numbers below those of Romney. Sounds to me like some people have their magical diapers on a little too tight, if you ask me.
