Florida Ignorance Lobby Wins Battle Over Cervical Cancer Education
Marking a victory for the ignorance, suffering, and death lobby in Florida, lawmakers in The Sunshine State ended their regular session without passing a bill that would have required that information be provided to schoolgirls about the cervical cancer vaccine and how they may protect themselves from the disease that is as deadly as it is preventable.
The measure initially was to require cervical vaccination, but was "softened" only to require that information be given out about the human papillomavirus and its link to cervical cancer.
Evidently, there is a powerful lobby in Florida of those so strongly in favor of subjecting girls to suffering and premature death from cervical cancer that they will not settle just at preventing compulsory cervical cancer vaccination. They feel so strongly about knowingly and necessarily subjecting a certain percentage of girls to cervical cancer later in life that they have prevented information about the vaccine from being disseminated.
I suppose they fear that girls and young women (and/or their parents) could use information about cervical cancer prevention to make make educated choices for themselves as to whether they want the cervical cancer vaccine. The choice overwhelmingly may be "yes."
What's next with these people? Overturn the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and revoke womens' right to vote? Take away womens' right to own property.
I am not aware of any of these types being around when the polio vaccine was introduced.
Can anyone explain to me how these people's position reflects anything other than incredibly deep-seated misogyny? If so, please do.
