The ones that get me are the people that objected
when they decided to innoculate all 11/12 year girls against human papilloma virus, arguing that their little princess should not even be thought of in the same sentence as the words sexually transmitted disease.

What do you want??? Western medicine has developed some pretty good stuff over the decades, eliminating small pox, almost wiping out polio etc. and here's another true advance that could cut cervical cancer in future decades hugely. But because some (almost certainly) right-wing religious nut-jobs have their heads buried so far into the ground their hair's being shrivelled by geothermal forces that they are prepared for their daughters to develop cancer.

Nice going.

And don't get me started on the Pope. Or Mitt Romney.

Who want to kid themselves that they only reason they didn't get any sex when they were teenagers was not having vaccines or the pill, rather than the obvious reasons.
