Christian parents, do you trust your child's health on your future son/daughter-in-law to be honest of where they have been? In the South, parents are in an uproar over the gardasil vaccine. It prevents some forms of the HPV virus that is linked to cervical cancer in females and oral cancer in males. The parents in question are offended by the idea of giving the vaccine to their little ray of sunshine because they way they raised their child, they wouldn't fall into temptation. OK, even if that is so, then why risk cancer in your daughter's body on the gamble that the man she is going to bed with on her wedding night is totally honest about where he has been? kay-ci, um yes the choice is to let your daughter get the shot to prevent cancer. It's a no brainer to me but to these Southern Christian parents, they think depriving this to their kids is appropriate.

Do you have a choice? If your future son/daughter in-law is lying about their sexual history, there could be any number of nasties in store for your child. Why worry about the least of them

Please provide evidence of your claim about the South being in an uproar over this vaccine. I live in the South and see the commercials on tv. What I haven't seen is an uproar. Don't stereotype. The fact is, regardless of what you or I would choose for our children, the choice belongs to the parents. ADDED: Of course that bill will face many objections. Any time the State presumes to make parental decisions the state faces objections. Hello, this is America! ADDED (for Allyn): Many conscientious parents are doing the same as you with childhood vaccinations. My best friend is and partly because my son has a seizure disorder which had onset at age 2. He suffered speech and motor regression, after a normal infancy. We will never know what part the vaccinations played. She is an OT, btw.

Funny thing about facts. Even though President Bush signed an Executive Order so we spend roughly $200,000,000 per year on abstinence-only education, the government's own figures show that the $1.6 billion dollars is a colossal waste of money. Children taking those abstinence pledge are more likely to end up with an STD than children who don't. Those who don't take the pledge are more likely to practice safe sex and avoid STDs or pregnancy. But people don't want to hear facts; they would rather persist with their archaic religious dogma.

Bottom line, better safe/protected than sorry. Hosea 4:6, God said, that we perish for lack of knowledge. And that if we reject knowledge, he will reject you-let you reap what you have sown. We don't have the luxury of being foolish with our lives. Let's face it, we all try very hard to raise our children properly, but things still happen. I think that we should protect our children in every way we possibly can. If God gave someone the wisdom to make a vaccine to prevent the flu, cancer, etc. Give Him praise and get vaccinated!

I live in the South, and most of the other parents I know are fine with the vaccine. Here's the general reasoning: "We made mistakes when we were kids, and we know that our "little ray of sunshine" is likely to make mistakes also, although we do our very best to give her a good basis to make her decisions on. And, of course, you are quite correct. Even if our own little sweetheart could do no wrong, who knows what evil that other brat, who definitely is not good enough for my child, has been up to? HIS parents obviously didn't raise him right..." What part of the South are you talking about? I am in Southern Alabama...like "Deep In The Heart Of Dixie"...

it protects young women against a harmful virus. People need to get with the times. My cousin signed a pact with her mom stating that she wouldn't have sex til she moved out. Guess what, she started all that at 11. She signed it when she was 16. Auntie got to her a bit late. You can't protect your little girl at all times. parents this obsessed with their daughters virginity ought to invest in a chastity belt. They do still make them, and they're not too expensive.

You know I'm struggling with this issue right now, (yes i live in the south) I don't have a daughter but i have a one year old son) and he is due for his shots(Hep B etc..) many of the shots are for std's which i find ridicules considering he's not having sex(yet). The reason I"M waiting a bit on his vaccines are safety issues ( formaldehyde, Mercury, Thirmisol...) When his little body is stronger(he has allergies) I will consider getting those shots.. BUT i want to educate Myself on the the advantages and disadvantages before i am ready for him to be injected with these toxins...I'm sure the advantages will out way the risks in some cases. But to answer your question straight on...If those parents are choosing to NOT vaccinate because they feel that they're children "wont go there" then IMO, that's doing their children a disservice, My father ruled with an iron fist and.. let's just say I'm lucky!!!
