Houston Family Who’s Daughter Died of Cervical Cancer Defends Rick Perry against Attacks on HPV Vaccine
For the critics of Rick Perry who try to make his Executive Order in 2007 to get the HPV Vaccine to young women in Texas some kind of diabolical decision, they might want to take a look at this video report from Houston TV Station KTRK. It tells the story of a cervical cancer victim that Gov. Rick Perry became very close to as she was dying. Her family is speaking out in Perry’s defense, angry that he is being vilified for taking up the cause of protecting the lives of young women.
Wild Thing's comment........
I really belileve Perry cares deeply about the people he represents and that will carry over if he wins to be President.

If we are to stick to our Republic ideals, then the HPV vaccine should have been by choice not a mandate. When the people are forced to do something against their will, then we are no longer a Republic.
We are either a nation of Laws or we are not. Does it help certainly, but forcing the citizens to take it the government is violating their right to choose.
And with all vaccines there will be a certain percentage of the population who will develop an alergy from that vaccine that is unavoidable.
We are suppose to be individuals, and if you give up that right then what makes you think you get it back for some other law. This is how we got into this mess.
Health care is not a right. If we give up that right to choose, then who decides. Then we have morphed from a Republic to a low life demmocracy where a certain majority decides for us.
This leads to the question, what is a right? a right is the sanction of independent action. A right is that which can be exercised without anyones permission ...if you exist only because society permits you to exist you have no right to your own life. A permission can be revoked at any time.

The executive order included an opt out clause. Girls would not have been forced to take the vacine.
Perry firmly believed in the vacine. The fact that opposition to the e.o. caused him to rescind it and later admit that the e.o. was a mistake is a plus in my book. obamacare has no opt out provision unless you are a muslim or a union member and obama has never admitted making any errors. There is so much difference in the moral character of these two men it is like the difference between a saint and a devil.
