the Family Research Council is going to launch a campaign against the HPV vaccines being developed by Glaxo and Merck, because goshdernit, it may lead to more s-e-x!!!!!

Of course, it may save lives, but what good are those lives if they're the evil ones having all that nasty s-e-x!!!!!

Now, imagine that these legalistic "christian" pharisees get their way and there is no HPV vaccine for the next, oh say, 50 years; How many millions of women worldwide will die a senseless, gruesome death by cervical cancer? Will these pharisees be at the bedsides of these women as they suffer thru surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and death? Will they pay for the health care costs?

clip:
"In the US, for instance, religious groups are gearing up to oppose vaccination, despite a survey showing 80 per cent of parents favour vaccinating their daughters. "Abstinence is the best way to prevent HPV," says Bridget Maher of the Family Research Council, a leading Christian lobby group that has made much of the fact that, because it can spread by skin contact, condoms are not as effective against HPV as they are against other viruses such as HIV.

"Giving the HPV vaccine to young women could be potentially harmful, because they may see it as a licence to engage in premarital sex," Maher claims..."

I wonder when the Family Research Council will get around to reading the Gospels of Jesus Christ and the rest of the New Testament....
