I'm just in shock that our Republican governor in a state with a dismal public health record and a long history of keeping its legislators hog-tied has yet to back down on this. Not that I'm complaining. While I'm not exactly thrilled about the government telling us we HAVE to have our daughters vaccinated I'm certainly going to ask about it for myself, and if I did have a daughter, you can bet she'd be getting it. And I'm with Bee-dubya-ell, that it should be subsidized to make sure people are able to comply.

And the idea that it will promote promiscuity is utter crap. Nobody thinks about that when they have sex, especially not teenagers.
