"Bishop Bans HPV Vaccine in Catholic School, Because Cancer Prevention Turns Girls into Sluts"

A little background: Some Canadian provinces provide grants to schools so that girls enrolled can receive the Gardasil vaccine for free on school grounds. But religious schools have been resistant to include girls enrolled there in the program, especially in Alberta. When the program was announced in 2008, school officials in Calgary sent information on the vaccine home to parents along with a strongly worded letter from brave pro-cancer Bishop Frederick Henry and five of his non-cervix possessing cronies, who warned parents that immunizing girls from the virus that leads to cervical cancer would expose their children to "counterproductive influences and potential abuse."

How very Rick Santorum of them.

Because of the vaccine's unfortunate "drug may cause middle school girls to immediately fall on the nearest dick they see" side effect, the publicly funded school board governing Calgary Catholic schools has declined to give students HPV vaccinations on the grounds that it violates their religion. For as Jesus said to Peter, "Lo, a woman who carries HPV deserves to die of cancer, because that's just how I roll. Amen."
