It's the God-squad vs. freedom

[kweerwolf]

1st Lowy God Squad America launched yet another offensive in its secular jihad against the formerly free US-of-A this week. The target this time: preteen girls to whom the religiously consumed would deny a vaccine that promises 100 percent protection against cervical cancer.

What's the objection? Preteen girls might interpret a vaccination as a "you go, girl" sign for having wanton, unending, carefree, premarital sex.

What? It's true. Merck & Co. and GlaxoSmithKline announced late last month they have developed a vaccine that protects against strains of a germ called the human papilloma virus (or HPV). Although most strains of HPV are innocuous, some can cause lesions on the cervix that become cancerous.

And it's transmitted how? Skin on skin. During sex. Males can carry the virus. But only in females does it morph into cervical cancer.

1. This is sick.

Someone that I loved died from cervical cancer. She went thru hell for 2 years. It was heartbreaking, she was still young.

If there is something that can be done to prevent other women from going thru that, these assholes better get out of the way!

I just wonder if one of them, or one of their loved ones became terminally ill, if they would let science intervene? Of course they would. Hypocrites!

2. My husband's friend from grade school died last week from cervical

cancer. These fundie assholes who want to deny women protection from cervical cancer should stop calling themselves 'pro-life' if they insist on pushing an agenda that ends with women dying, and start calling themselves the more accurate 'anti-sex' movement.

3. If we give them this vaccine, then they will have sex

Bullshit right wing thinking.

These people don't value life. They are just hypocrites.

I keep checking to see if this is satire. But...

4. i am voting against tradition marriage today, yawl.......

and as i go thru my day, i am telling my people, repugs and fundies, i have to vote against putting discrimination in state constitution. adn the reason being, the right christian and repugs have already said out loud that voting democrat is unchristian. if this is unchristian then this to is possible to put in our state constitution since we are deciding law in the interpretation of the fundamentalist and literalists and demanding we all live by their rule.

so i have an obligation and responsibility not to mention self preservation, to vote against traditional marriage.

hm\

what a world we live in

5. I wonder why only women develop the cervical cancer

:evilgrin:

Probably the same reason that only men develop prostate cancer . . .
