Once upon a time there was actually a political philosophy that held people had a basic right to make their own medical decisions, that the state must have an overwhelming public health concern before they could so interfere. Polio is an example. Perhaps even the way one kid could put a classroom to bed with measles is an example. But Gardasil does not meet this test. The use of Gardasil is an issue that should be decided between a person and their doctor, not our nanny state legislators.
This bill should be passed
