It's definitely something to continue researching. Perhaps there will be more options in the next few years and a better knowledge of this vaccine.<BR/><BR/>We too have chosen to homeschool for the same reasons.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993502569209583377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441171522436148959.post-61890908435924090492007-02-08T23:47:00.000-06:002007-02-08T23:47:00.000-06:00I have a close friend that was raped, and she stru...I have a close friend that was raped, and she struggled for a long time with it. It was difficult to watch her worry for so long over whether she was pregnant, or would contract some sort of disease, not to mention the emotional stress. <BR/><BR/>However, to force her to take a vaccine would in my opinion, be almost the same thing. Not knowing whether the vaccine itself could cause some sort of adverse side effect, or even it's own form of cancer. Vaccines have many risks, and most of them are not properly communicated.<BR/><BR/>While I don't know if this is quite parallel to handing out condoms in the schools, I'm sure it wouldn't help. That is one of the many reasons we chose to homeschool. We would like to teach our children on their terms, not the ideals of some educator that does not share our beliefs.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09207900813763379752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441171522436148959.post-25030283117301689092007-02-08T19:59:00.000-06:002007-02-08T19:59:00.000-06:00I thought the very same thing.

But I also know that I'm going to teach my children to abstain from pre-marital sex. I would hope that their future spouse did too. However, my friend who has three young girls pointed out to me that she'd rather they be vaccinated in case they were ever raped. That's not really something you can predict. So, I've been thinking on that since. My little girl is 3. The thought of her being raped absolutely horrifies me. But the thought of her being raped, ending up with an STD resulting in cervical cancer is even worse.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993502569209583377noreply@blogger.com
