Limited Power Is A Good Thing

Human Papillomavirus, more commonly known as HPV, is a sexually transmitted disease, also known as an STD. It is spread by having sex with someone who already has HPV, and it is the most common STD in America. Sometimes symptoms do not appear for years, but even if someone

The unforgettable story of vaccines is a story of triumph and controversy. The saddest part of the story is persistent ignorance and a lack of education, comingled with the personal need of some parents to explain away the problems of their children, have caused the controversy to arise. The good news is that the triumphant reality of vaccines as a whole is still the larger enduring legacy. The human papillomavirus vaccine is not an exception to this rule; in fact despite all the controversy surrounding the vaccine, it is one of medicine’s greatest lifesaving gifts to us.

The Texas anti-abortion law has taken the country’s attention by storm. It is an issue on many different woman’s minds, especially those who live in the state of Texas. The new laws are forcing many woman to have to cross state lines in order to receive an abortion and medical care. This includes woman who needs abortions due to preexisting medical conditions and those who are carrying fetuses which are diseased and are expected not to be born as healthy babies. The Texas Governor Rick Perry and Senator Ted Cruz are leading the fight for the abortion laws to become permanent, laws that are considered the strictest abortion laws that this country has ever seen.

For centuries same sex marriage has been a dispute, especially in Texas because of how powerfully Texas believes in the bible and how extremely “old fashioned” it is. The debate has been over LGBT equality, just like the black civil rights movement and the women’s movement in the 1960’s. Due to the traditional and common law, Texas does not allow same sex marriage. Actually, the state banned same sex marriage a decade ago or more. The issue was during the 2004 presidential election when Missouri and Louisiana voters approved same sex marriage and eleven states placed amendments. Everyone held their word and continued to protect the laws of Texas. The constitutional amendments that banned same sex marriage well-defined marriage as a union between

Historically, the conservative values conveyed by many Texans have shown disapproval for change and differences. Amongst the list of social and political views conservatives have disapproved of in the past would be civil rights, women’s rights, and gay rights. All three are issues of which are still under conflict and disapproval. With this said, gay rights are the most recent issue that has shaken the traditionalist views upheld in Texas. To state the opposition of gay rights, conservatives in general do not support the relationships shared between homosexuals. They deem it as unnatural or immoral and therefore, it is seen as wrong in their eyes. In addition to the conservative claims as homosexuality being unnatural, the traditional culture does not take too kindly to change, which is exactly what began as soon as the Court’s ruling was made. In conclusion, it is the traditional political culture such as the conservative ideology shared by many and the opposition to change that has affected Texas in

In recent years, the United States has been struggling to pass transgender rights, and Texas is of no means of an exception. Some of these include bathroom rights. In Texas, the bathroom bill passed through the Texas Senate, but did not survive through the Texas House, resulting in a temporary halt. Even now, the government still question the rights. It is suggested that Texas may need a bathroom bill, but would probably end in some kind of financial consequence, along with many Americans losing their jobs. The Texas Bathroom Bill, otherwise known as SB6, could also fuel disunity within our nation and cause several riots.

“Texas Gov. Rick Perry has spent years on the political stage. During that time, not only has he consistently opposed LGBT equality, but he’s used his opposition to LGBT rights as a campaign issue against other candidates.” “Perry supported a ballot measure to ban same-sex marriage in Texas, supports a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage nationwide, and has attacked judges who have ruled against same-sex marriage bans. He even defied a Department of Defense rule that would have granted LGBT service members access to domestic partner benefits.” Living with a governor for 15 years that has been so adamant against the equality of same sex relationships, how can our state change for the better? Even our current governor, Greg Abott is against same sex marriage. He believes the ruling goes against the religious beliefs of Texans and has been against it since it was passed. “The Supreme Court has abandoned its role as an impartial judicial arbiter and has become an unelected nine-member legislature. Five Justices on the Supreme Court have imposed on the entire country their personal views on an issue that the Constitution and the Court’s previous decisions reserve to the people of the States. Despite the Supreme Court’s rulings, Texans’ fundamental right to religious liberty remains protected. No Texan is required by the Supreme Court’s decision to act contrary to his or her religious beliefs regarding marriage. The Texas Constitution guarantees that no human authority ought, in any case whatsoever, to control or interfere with the rights of conscience in matters of religion. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion; and the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act, combined with the newly enacted Pastor Protection Act, provide robust legal protections to Texans whose faith commands them to adhere

Texas Legislation has been known to be extremely controversial. But, before it can be described, for whom the legislation

They truly believe it is their duty to enforce such a harsh law. Their ideology is that because Texas is a conservative state, they have to get rid of abortions in the state. Even though the public is constantly protesting the bill, Governor Perry continues to believe it is in the citizen’s best interest Governor Rick Perry plays the major role in assuring that the bill does in fact get passed. He has shown that he will stop at nothing to thwart the bill. His actions in making sure the bill is approved are extremely unnecessary and uncalled

Perry’s strong opposition to the ACA makes it questionable whether the reform is for the benefit of the people or if it benefits the government monetarily. The current Governor of Texas, Greg Abbot, stated his thoughts of the ACA by stating,

Governor Jerry Brown is a known supporter of the bill but it has been said he could possibly urge legislators to keep the religious exemption for vaccination. A decision on the bill must be made by September 11, 2015 and if passed will most likely take effect on January 1, 2016. There are many different reasons people are opposing this bill, including: their views on vaccination, the feeling this bill will infringe on their rights, and also because they feel this will basically limit the education children receive based on a religious preference. Now that SB 277 has made it to the third reading in the Assembly it seems that the best person to write to in opposition of the bill would be Governor Brown, who has veto power if the bill passes the assembly and the senate agrees to all amendments. The authors of the bill, Senator Allen and Senator Pan would also be good people to write because they ultimately have to present their bill to the assembly to get it passed. The individual Assembly members, who have yet to vote, would also be good people to try and sway. They can prevent the bill from ever reaching Governor

This paper explores my evaluation of five articles that displays and explains the decision of Rick Perry’s 2007 executive order mandating that all girls in Texas 11 years and older receive the HPV vaccine. My evaluation of Governor Perry’s choice is sensible in way but also excessive and intrusive, to make this vaccine a burden to one sex and not the other seems sexist but this vaccine is not the only way to prevent girls and Women in the state of Texas. His decision has sparked many others to criticize the HPV vaccine should be mandatory for boys as well. This subject has created many other alternatives to his decision.

The HPV vaccine is cancer prevention. Over thousands of cases of HPV cancers are detected every year in men and women. The HPV vaccination is important because it can prevent these cancers. The United States Food and Drug Administration approved this vaccine and it is one hundred percent safe. This vaccine is preventive care for the second leading cancer in women. It has been proven to be one hundred percent effective in prevention of cervical cancer, but the vaccine must be given to children between the age of 11 -17 before they become sexually active. After the age seventeen with young women most become sexually active and receive their first pap smear from their gynecologist, receiving the vaccine at this point is not as effective in prevention of cancers. Another benefit of receiving the vaccine during adolescent, is it supports people who may not have the medical knowledge or access to regular medical services.

The Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the virus responsible for cervical cancer. It is one the most common viral sexually transmitted infections. A vaccine was approved in 2006 that is effective in preventing the types of HPV responsible for 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts. Proposals for routine and mandatory HPV vaccination of girls have become sources of controversy for parents of school-aged youth, legislators, members of the medical community, and the public at large (Cooper et al. 2010).
