Avoiding the Death Sentence for Some Women

Clayton Cramer writing on his blog regarding the new HPV Vaccine:

From what I have read, Gardisol works on some strains of HPV, but not all.

What I don’t understand is that there is apparently some conservative opposition to use of the vaccine, out of concern that it would encourage premarital sex. Gardisol isn’t going to do anything about genital herpes, syphilis, HIV, pregnancy, or a host of other risks associated with premarital sex. It does reduce the potentially lethal consequences of sex–and even women who wait until marriage are at risk of HPV if their husband has had previous sexual partners

I would agree with Clayton here. There’s no reason to oppose giving women a vaccine that can save them from some consequences of sexual promiscuity. I’m strongly in favor of women getting those.

The sad thing is, there’s really been a lack of education in recent years about all the types of HPV out there, and the fact that condoms nor any other protective method can prevent them. Now, that there is some prevention for a few HPVs, its incumbent on women to get them because it can be passed from men.

This in no way lessens the need for sexual abstinence. The fact is that the damage by the sexual revolution in our country has been real. Despite all the liberal whining and pontificating by the left over Iraq, more people have died in the name of “Sexual liberation” than have died during the entire Iraq campaign. Condoms leak, birth control fails. Yet, these are facts liberals ignore in their enthusiasm for promiscuity.
