LILLYHORTON says:I think we should all agree to disagree. The comment about me not knowing exactly what HPV was is correct however I know condoms are effective as well as few sex partners. I can only imagine that some parents are more concerned for their daughters due to her active multiple partner sex experiences. Some people really don't have casual sex. I being one of those people. My relationships have been good. I can count them on one hand unlike many of you who advocate the shot. With that said we as parents have the right to determine whether the shot is right for their daughters rather than the government who assumes all females are wide open.
------------------------------------------- I noticed a few errors in your post:
You are lucky. Even if you only had one sexual partner you could be at risk. Your post suggests that anyone who has had one more partner than you did is promiscuous. Also a person can get HPV not just from intercourse...there are other sexual activities sweetheart. Please note that I wrote persons and not girls.
Funny how all of these opinions are from folks that do not seems to be those that could possibly make use of the vaccine. As such, you do not have any credibility on EITHER SIDE OF THIS ISSUE! I suggest you talk to your children or grandchildren to help them.
I think that immediately upon getting the vaccine girls would be ready to put out. "You got a date with Cindy tonight??" "Yeah, and she got her HPV vaccine today!"
The idea was idiotic to begin with, and only a judgmental religious fundamentalist could have conceived of it. Comparatively, HPV is one of the lesser STD evils - AIDS and unwanted children have it far outclassed. the HPV vaccine doesn't protect you from those, obviously; if you're smart enough to understand you GOT the HPV vaccine, you're smart enough to realize that it doesn't protect you from most STDs.
...we're going to have to have this moronic debate again if there's every an AIDS vaccine, aren't we? HIV is god's gift to sexually repressive neanderthals.
The story was a nice bit of information. Your specious remarks depict a partisan bigotry of someone that clearly needs help. Find a hobby and stop polluting reasonable news stories with your demented and revolting delusions. :)
"Some parents have raised concerns that the shots "are a license to have sex,"
the sad thing is we as people are suppose to give credence to trash journalism like this. Seriously if respected news papers are going to peddle every two bit theory an uneducated and ill informed parent thinks of everyday, we would have a newspaper 150 pages long. What next do cheerios make you have an erection?
seriously? since when do parents becomes experts in cancer immunology??? and can raise debates as mundane as causing women to be "promiscuous" might as well have burned the money, what a waste of valuable research dollars to think there are scientists today needing funding for research that actually is science!
sorry cbs you wonder on the decline of the news paper industry and the growth of "alternative" sources of news here is why!

Apparently this is how fundies think 12 year old girls think:
Doctor: "I'm going to give you a HPV vaccine which will reduce the likelihood that you will get cervical cancer 20-30 years from now due to sexual contact with men."
12 year old girl: "Really? I am so going to do bang every guy I see now!"
The actual sad thing here is that in 2012, we actually have to run these studies.

Is there any part in my previous post that makes you think that the virus cares whether or not the sex is "promiscuous" or "in a loving relationship" or whatever distorted irrelevant label you want to slap on it?
FACT: If you have sex you most likely are already exposed to the virus.
How many different ways do you need it explained to you?
YOU with your "handful" of partners have most likely been exposed to HPV.
Statistics are on my side. Foolish arguments are on yours/
If the government assumes that "all women are wide open," then maybe you should consider changing the people who represent you. The study, if you had bothered to read it, showed that most young women agree with you, but there are many who cite religion as a reason to keep their kids from dying most unpleasantly from cervical cancer because they feel the HPV shot will cause them to hop into bed with the nearest biker.
I respect your right to determine whether the shot is right for your daughter, but I object to anyone's right to allow paranoia to kill them.
I doubt that young girls ever postponed becoming sexually active because of the fear of HPV! Could youy imagine a 15 year old girl saying, "whew! Now that the threat of HPV is gone I can engage in sex!"

Let's also agree that you have failed.
Let's agree you have sexual hang-ups and are projecting them in some weird distorted way.
Let's get some facts:
If you have sex statistics say you will be exposed to HPV. PERIOD.
If you get vaccinated against HPV a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer drops SIGNIFICANTLY.
Are there any words in the above statement you do not understand?

Because some other idiot also thinks like you and won't get their kid vaccinated and is sentencing their daughter to death because of foolish beliefs.
