Glad to have found your blog Professor Kohm. <br><br>Last I heard, Kansas (a stone's throw West from here) was also considering mandatory HPV vaccines starting with six grade girls. It's really sad that our post-modern American society would rather propose quick-fixes than teach young people the importance of sexual purity before marriage and sexual fidelity after marriage. It really just ignores the root causes of the spread of HPV (and all other STDs for that matter).<br><br>Anyway, I hope all is well with you. I'll look forward to future posts. I'm taking the bar exam at the end of the month and wouldn't mind a prayer my way if you think of it. Take care, JeremiahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102565543549142384.post-69553894409667119642007-04-09T15:10:00.000-04:002007-04-09T15:10:00.000-04:00Unbelievable.

They finally come up with a vaccine to <i>prevent cancer</i> and you are against it, because you would rather see young girls die a painful and unnecessary death from an ugly but preventable disease than risk "encouraging them to think about sex." That is reprehensible, and as a so-called "Christian" you should be ashamed of yourself.<br><br>Giving girls this insurance against a particularly widespread - and now <i>medically preventable</i> - form of cancer does absolutely nothing to undermine any messages her parents may want to teach her about sexual activity.<br><br>If you were honest about this issue, you would acknowledge that the reason public health officials need to encourage vaccination at such a young age is because the vaccination is useless in a child who has already been infected with HPV, so it's necessary to vaccinate girls BEFORE they become sexually active. With girls now experimenting with sex in junior high school, the age of nine is considered the latest safe age at which girls can be effectively vaccinated prior to such contact. That doesn't mean that they are expected to have sex at that age (at least, not anywhere except in your fevered imagination, that is).<br><br>But you and your right-wing theocratic pals choose to ignore that simple fact in your goal to legislate your religious dogma into law. Instead, you misrepresent the facts about the vaccine and cast aspersions on the public health officials who have a responsible approach to this epidemic.<br><br>And news flash, "professor" - there <i>are</i> cases of girls as young as nine who ARE having sex. It's distressing, but true. And your wishful thinking and Ozzie-and-Harriet view of the world does nothing to obviate that fact. If this is the kind of reasoning they are teaching at your law school, it's no wonder that only half of your school's graduates manage to pass the bar exam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102565543549142384.post-86776157247015886572008-03-03T15:30:00.000-05:002008-03-03T15:30:00.000-05:00This is outrageous and even more surprising that p...This is outrageous and even more surprising that people actually comment without understanding that this vaccine will NOT prevent cervial cancer completely and it only lasts a specific amount of time. I have two eleven year old daughters and believe that it is the PARENTS RIGHT to decide if they want thier child to receive this vaccine. Why should I give this to my daughters because the government says I should. It is my business and RIGHT as a parent to decide what to do for my daughters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
