OK, see - this is the kind of stuff that makes me crazy!

First the good news:

"Sixth-grade girls in Michigan could be the first required to be vaccinated against cervical cancer under a proposed new law."

"The proposed law would require girls headed for sixth grade next year to be immunized against the human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes most cervical cancers and can also cause genital warts."

"The vaccine, approved by the Food and Drug Administration in June, was shown to be 100 percent effective against HPV. Doctors say it works best if administered before girls are sexually active."

Now the insanity:

"That concerns some conservative groups who worry the vaccine could encourage promiscuity."

OHMYGOD!!! I simply do not understand how parents would *not* jump at the chance to keep their daughters from possibly getting cervical cancer!
