One Step At A Time

From the Appleton Post Crescent.

State bill would require vaccine for young girls
By Scott Bauer Associated Press writer
MADISON — A proposal with bipartisan support would
require all girls entering sixth grade in Wisconsin to be
vaccinated for the human papillomavirus, a move
recommended to prevent cervical cancer.

Similar bills have been introduced in at least a dozen
other states, but some have met with opposition from
groups that say government is reaching too far into
girls' personal lives.

Supporters of a mandate say it makes sense to provide
the vaccine as a way to fight a cancer that kills 3,700
American women every year. But opponents say states
should not push a vaccine on the assumption that young
girls are or about to be sexually active.

People from Michigan have there heads on straight!

That wasn't what happened in Michigan, where a similar
proposal was narrowly defeated in December amid concerns
that the mandate intruded too far into families' personal lives.

Granted this might be good for cancer patients but come on ,
A mandate for all girls ages 9 to 26? If this passes ,what will

the next step (mandate) be, a ban on eating venison?
How far will people let government run their lives.
I some how do not trust our leaders in Madison and for sure
don't trust Diamond Jim. When will this nanny state
government mentality ever end? Are people
that ignorant that they can't make their own decisions?


I go back to a great gentleman from Gillett that said
about people that are ignorant of government and politics,
"So you don't like idiots" , No I don't!
