Good news on cancer? Not for everyone (The American Taliban Strike)
By Ellen Goodman

THERE WAS a time when only the loony left believed that the loony right favored death over sex. Not anymore
If you've been engrossed in the culture-war correspondence on the judicial front, maybe you missed the news on the medical front. While the religious right escorted Harriet Miers out and welcomed Samuel Alito in, a group of scientists announced the beginning of the end of a deadly cancer.
In clinical trials, a new vaccine was 100 percent successful in preventing the virus that causes most cervical cancer, the second-leading cancer killer of women in the world. Every year some 10,000 American women are diagnosed with it and nearly 4,000 die. It now appears that with government approval and funding, we're on our way to ending this scourge.
This was the response of Leslie Unruh of the National Abstinence Clearinghouse: ''I personally object to vaccinating children against a disease that is 100 percent preventable with proper sexual behavior."
The honchos at the Family Research Council said tepidly that they ''welcome medical advances," but with a very frayed welcome mat. FRC's Tony Perkins said he would not inoculate his own daughter: ''It sends the wrong message. Our concern is that this vaccine will be marketed to a segment of the population that should be getting a message about abstinence."

1. Now why couldn't those doggone scientists claim that HPV
is caused from sitting in pews? Maybe then the nut jobs wouldn't object to the vaccine. If men got penis cancer from it, they'd be all over it like stink on shit.

2. find the virus
stick it in a vial,and dump it in the church coffee pot and see how many of their submitted wives die than..If they want to kill others why don't we do unto them...
Fuck all these talibornagains. I HATE them.I fear it's gonna come down to them receiving that persecution and killing off they have been provoking us to give them for decades.Fuck them all than.Death loving perversions every one of them. Fuck them. They have no right to push abstinence or death on millions of people who don't CARE about their opinions,don't CARE what they think,Could care less about their crazy bully jesus,or their FUCKED UP religion.I'm afraid it's gonna come down to killing these narcissistic shit heads off if we want to preserve our country and our freedom from these sociopath insane morally bankrupted fanatics.
NO ONE needs to ask these fundies permission FOR ANYTHING.Scientists especially need to tell these assholes to shut the fuck up..FUCK THEIR jesus monster GOD!And fuck the church and their control games over other peoples bodies and lives.

Hey, Every time you punch a control freak fundie in the face,and laugh jesus smiles at you and you get another big fat jewel in your crown in heaven!
