Republican Liberty Caucus opposes mandatory HPV vaccination.
By Chris Farris | March 14, 2007
ATLANTA, GA, March 14, 2007– The Republican Liberty Caucus of Georgia, a grassroots organization promoting individual freedom, limited government and fiscal responsibility, has issued a position in opposition to Senate Bill 155 – Mandatory immunization against human papillomarvirus for all female students entering the sixth grade.
This bill would require female students entering the sixth grade to receive the HPV vaccination. The Republican Liberty Caucus believes that parents know what is best for their children, not government. The human papillomarvirus can only be spread through sexual intercourse and does not present the same threat as smallpox, measles or mumps. There is no public health crisis that demands the mandatory inoculation of twelve year old girls, and if that crisis does exist, then it should be made mandatory for all women capable of sexual intercourse
The Republican Liberty Caucus of Georgia takes positions in support or opposition to legislation under consideration in the Georgia General Assembly. Our criteria are based on the Liberty Compact we ask all candidates to sign. It states that candidates will work to: restore liberty, shrink government, reduce taxes, abolish programs, and promote the freedom and independence of Georgia citizens.
The Republican Liberty Caucus intends to use the recorded committee and floor votes for SB 155 as part of its review process for 2008 endorsements. We encourage all Republicans who believe in liberty to vote in opposition to SB155.
