Republicans, ProLife, Abortion and STD Vaccines

Many states in the United States are trying to make it mandatory to vaccinate young women against a virus that causes cervical cancer. To many peoples surprise and not to the surprise of others, Republicans are rallying against making this vaccine mandatory for young American women.

Republicans feeling the pressure from the conservative Christians are working to block this effort to prevent cervical cancer in women. They feel that it will cause more women to go out and have sex that might not have before this vaccine was available. I can't help but wonder if the conservative Christians will also work against a cure for AIDS if given the chance. It seems to me that the reason many people abstain or take precautionary measures regarding sex is because of AIDS. If there is ever a cure found for AIDS, it will take a lot of the fears associated with sex away. For this reason it is reasonable to assume that the conservative Christians would rally against a cure for AIDS as they currently are doing for cervical cancer.

The conservative Christians are one of the main problems that I see facing the Republican party today. Republicans will do just about anything that the conservative Christians want them to do. Take abortion for for an example. The Republican party has passed many abortion laws across this country, only to see then ruled as unconstitutional when challenged in courts. Are the courts just being unfair, or is there more to it?

It is basic knowledge that if an abortion law does not include provisions for a mothers health, the courts will strike that law down. So why do the Republicans keep writing law after law that they know will eventually be challenged and defeated? It really is simple and sinister. The conservative Christians will rally against bills that basically do not make ALL abortions illegal. Conservatice Christians want all abortions illegal and will not support anything but that.

Republicans on the other hand know how powerful of a campaign tool abortion has become. Republicans have become experts on rallying people when they start talking about dead babies. If the Republicans passed a bill regarding abortions, they would no longer have this cause to rally around. This is why they write the bills this way. They get to keep the support of the conservative Christians and keep their strongest campaign tool.

There is also the matter of what would happen if all these children were born. What kind of burden would that cause to our already overcrowded schools? What would this do to our welfare systems in this country? These are important issues that also need to be addressed when discussing abortion issues.

I hope this has helped shed a little light on the issues of cervical cancer prevention and the abortion. It is ashame that all these children will be made to suffer or die at the hands of the conservative Christians in this country. We all know that if an abortion law was passed that make exceptions for a womans health, rape and incest, most every American would support it. The courts would also support it as well. So the next time a Republican claims to be pro life, just remember that they have had the ability to prevent almost every abortion in this country but failed to do it for political reasons.
