Let Them Have Sex

These GARDASIL ads make me angry.


An advert on TV for prevention of cervical cancer, at first blush, seems like a good idea. Until you realize they are pitching prevention of HPV. HPV? Wait a minute. HPV is a veneral disease that has one main side effect: STERILITY. 95% of victims with a second case become sterile.
Can we take a drug to treat that? No!

So why not tell kids to AVOID the disease? Because instead we can make sure its safe for them without asking them to take any responsibility!!! Because we can make them safe from the horrors of cancer. But what about the horrors of finally finding the love of your life and telling him, "Sorry honey, but I cannot have your children?"

The website does tell girls how you get HPV. GENITAL CONTACT, not (just) from intercourse! So this drug is a way for these girls to have genital contact but feel safe about the consequences? Say what? You want me to tell my daughter to be safe from consequences? Do you think she is an idiot? Do you think I am an idiot? What about just saying no to all those boys with a zipper problem instead of taking this drug?

Just look at those innocent faces in that photo. Girls lined up to meet boys of no self control who won't marry them. Ok guys, down with that zipper, we are ready for you! We're going to do it anyway, may as well avoid cancer!

Ok, the argument will be made that the girls are already promiscuous. So why the pitch to start your daughter on the drug as young as possible? Is it shameless self promotion? For drug company profits?

I see this mindset as an offshoot of the abortion industry. No consequences == no pregnancy. No pregnancy == no consequences. Period. Sterility? Hah! One less baby factory, one less lifetime of producing babies. Very Very desirable from the viewpoint of the pro-choice, "do anything you want because God is dead" crowd. The belief there is that pregnancy is the worst thing that can happen to you. Followed by cancer and death. Followed by the inconvenience of ugly warts and unpopularity. Who is going to worry about the trifling problem of sterility if we can prevent all the other problems and have fun at the same time?

I see these girls as innocents who are being victimized by an anti-human culture. That makes me angry.
