California lawmakers continue to fine tune a plan to require Gardasil vaccinations against human papillomavirus, which is transmitted by sexual contact, for all pre-teen girls in both private and public schools in the state, worrying many parents due to California's reputation as a leader in such decisions.
Assembly Bill 16, which would mandate injections of the Merck & Co. vaccine to protect against the sexually transmitted disease, remains under review at the Senate committee level, having been endorsed by both the Health and Education committees following its approval in the state Assembly.
As WND has reported, the effort to make the vaccine mandatory has been sweeping through state legislatures across the nation, largely pushed by women lawmakers who are part of the Women in Government organization, to which Merck contributed financially.
The campaign has been so widespread the National Conference of State Legislatures set up a special website just to track and update the various campaigns.
In California, Karen England, executive director of Capital Resource Institute, said the plan just isn't right.
"It is terribly disappointing that the state assembly decided to force a dangerous, inadequately tested STD vaccine on 11 year-old girls," she said.
Parents of autistic children also criticize the measure, citing studies that indicate childhood vaccination may be a contributing factor causing the debilitating disease.
WND also has reported that the Merck vaccine has been tied to three deaths, and more than 1,600 adverse reactions.

Hmm... How about sex before marriage causes these problems. The sad thing is that people think God was mean by making sex for marriage only. He was actually looking out for us! If only we would repent and turn back to God, and read and obey the Bible again.
