I was reading the news link on Empowher, regarding the moral objections to the HPV vaccination.

Many parents will not allow their girls to have the vaccination because they believe it will encourage them to have sex. Since behaviors like smoking leads to cancers, so having sex leads to HPV. Both are behaviors that are preventable, say the objectors to this vaccine.
Kimberly Martinez, executive director of the Abstinence Clearinghouse, a nonprofit group that advocates teaching children not to have sex rather than to have safe sex.

I am a forty year old stay at home mom and a vegetarian tree hugger who also likes the finer things in life. My world consists of some philanthropic volunteer work, four funny children, one awesome husband, two crazy families, many animals, much heartbreak, lots of laughs, a few underutilized college degrees and a deep need to share it all. Most importantly I have battled secondary infertility a hysterectomy and an ugly anxiety disorder. I am on the winning side, so please feel free to ask away..
