Texas House Loves Cancer And STD

I am glad I don't live in Texas anymore:

TX House Votes to Override Vaccine Order

AUSTIN — The Texas House approved a bill Tuesday that would keep the human papillomavirus vaccine off the list of required shots for school attendance, tentatively circumventing Gov. Rick Perry's executive order.

The vaccine protects girls against strains of HPV, a sexually transmitted virus that causes most cases of cervical cancer.

The measure, approved 119-21, still needs final approval in the House and approval in the Senate. It's also possible that Perry will veto the legislation, but the 119 voters that approved the bill Tuesday are more than enough to override a veto.

It seems obvious to me from this decision that the Texas House does not care about the health and lives of Texas citizens.

Of course, I also think that Texas does not care about the health and lives of American citizens because they gave us George W. Bush, so perhaps I should not be surprised that the Texas House voted to help spread cancer and STD and voted against good health and saving lives.
