for fuck's sake

Is this evil or what? Conservatives don't want a HPV vaccine (which would prevent cervical cancer) because... they think it will turn girls into whores.

Considering that 80% of the sexually active population has the virus, there's a good chance that a 13-year-old girl today who gets married at 21 as a virgin is going to get HPV. And then, 15 years later, she gets cervical cancer and dies a horrible death, leaving behind three or four or five children. Never mind the idea that it's wrong to withhold cures for sexual diseases... this seems expressly designed to punish women. For having sex. Ever. With the punishment of death!
