Is it "liberal" to want to protect your daughters from cervical cancer.?

139>WASHINGTON - Women for the first time have a vaccine to protect them against cervical cancer.





The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved use of the vaccine, Gardasil, for use in girls and women ages 9 to 26. It works by preventing infection by four strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease.





This cancer kills 3,700 women each year in the United States and hundreds of thousands more worldwide.





I just received this fundie answer:

You know, there are extremists on both sides. Didn%26#039;t some liberal government official try to make it mandatory for all elementary or middle school girls to have an anti-std vaccine of some kind? He was unsuccessful, thank God.%26quot;





The %26quot;Liberal%26quot; she means is our illustrious %26quot;constitutional ammendment defining marrige%26quot; governor Rick Perry. Liberal!!!! Please don%26#039;t make me laugh. His motivation was to prevent cancer.
Reply:if a vaccine is ready to protect them from cervical cancer by all means do it=you are showing that you care enough and love your daughters enough to protect them
Reply:Absolutely not. Heck, I%26#039;m abstinent but I%26#039;m still getting it just in case my future husband has it.
