It kind of troubles me when states start passing legislation that requires vaccines for things that really are not contagious except through certain forms of contact -- like sexual contact.

Texas Governor Rick Perry issued an order this past Friday that makes his state the first ever to require that schoolgirls to get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.

So, there is a virus than can cause one type of cancer in women, and it is spread through sexual contact. Fr some reason the government of Texas has taken away rights of the individual here in requiring this vaccination. Somehow, something just does not sit right with me about that.
