1 in 5 parents refuse daughters' cervical cancer jab | Society | The Guardian: "some may have concerns that allowing vaccination may promote promiscuity, because the cancer-causing virus which the vaccination targets is passed on in sexual intercourse."
if the only reason you're not having sex is because you're afraid of catching cancer - or rather, you won't immunise you's daughter so that she's afraid of having sex because she might catch cancer - then there's something seriously wrong with you and i think you've proved yourself undeserving of the right to an opinion or anything else, except education. which is a duty anyway.
or, perhaps:
parents who decide to not have their children immunised should be charged with child abuse.
discuss.

this debate was massive in cananada last year. it came up right at election time too, and there was all kinds of shit about non-public schools (the catholic schools) getting or not getting government funding (i.e. the government shouldn't be funding schools that are teaching children things that are against the national curriculum - creationism). but yeah, the catholic schools were also saying they wouldn't be offering the vaccination to their students. the whole thing got so out of hand i stopped paying attention to the arguements. because basically there isn't one. you summed it nicely ;]
