This is unfortunately, very true. Remember when the Texas government tried to administer to young girls a vaccine that would prevent cervical cancer?
Hey, its something that would keep women from dying or suffering from a horrible disease! Everybody should love it, right?
WRONG, the conservatives went batshit INSANE. They decried this, they ranted and raved about how the government was forcing them to do something that was "morally wrong." Michelle Malkin went on a whinefest in her column stating, "MY children aren't going to have sex, so why should I be forced to get them this vaccine?" (Oh yeah, she's a genius.) The conservative right made the most hilarious leaps of logic possible, like, "If I have my 11 year-old girl get this vaccine, it would be like me telling her to have sex with as many young boys as possible!" and more than one minister said it was terrible because it 'removed another consequence of pre-marital sex'
