You're so charming when you play dumb. What about the kids who have sex anyway, and all they know about it ab-only? They don't tend to protect themselves, leading to disease and pregnancy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an anti-vaccine crusader or anything. But the vaccine being pushed right now only protects against 4 (out of 100's) of HPV strains. Only 2 of those strains have been linked to cervical cancer. Not all cervical cancer is a result of these viruses and these viruses don't always lead to cervical cancer. In my opinion, neither the risk nor the consequences are strong enough to warrant allowing the state to take (by force) one more decision out of the hands of the people who care most & are the most responsible for the actions of the children…the parents.

I would hope most people would wonder why both liberal politicians & the anti-abstinence crowd are pushing this vaccine so much. Keeping in mind that there are at least 40 different HPV STD's that only require skin to skin intimate contact, of which condoms only prevent a minimum of transmissions. So clearly, their goal isn't to keep kids safe. I do believe the goal is to keep chipping away at parents rights to train their children up according to their own moral beliefs and force an extremely permissive and nanny-state mentality on this young generation.

Advocates of abstinence-only sex-ed must take some portion of the blame, as well, I daresay.
