Mandatory HPV edict bill dies a worthy legislative death!

Thanks to EVERYONE who worked tirelessly to make the MANDATORY Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) edict bill either be voluntary -- thereby respecting the Natural Rights of parents to decide what is in their childrens' BEST interests on this issue -- or die a worthy legislative death. The bill died in the Senate yesterday. It is amazing what people power will do when we, the people, stand up to the lobbying prowess of drug pushing manufacturers like Merck.

Update: March 29th, 1:22 p.m.: The World Health Organization (the WHO, in conjunction with UNAIDS) has recommended that men be circumcised to prevent the spread off HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), after the world body found that "[b]ased on the evidence presented, which was considered to be compelling, experts attending the consultation recommended that male circumcision now be recognized as an additional important intervention to reduce the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men," and that "[t]he recommendations represent a significant step forward in HIV prevention." We, therefore, expect our lawmakers, who were so quick to appease Merck with the HPV bill, will now pre-file a bill for next Legislative session, to MANDATE circumcision for ALL pre-adult MALES. After all "what's good for the goose" on HPV, ought to be equally "good for any gander" on circumcision ... right!?
