I work at the capitol and this is all I hear about these days. I think the biggest reason that there is opposition to Perry's executive order is that a lot of right wingers think that the vaccine will promote premarital sex. A nice quote I heard in response to that was, "if we developed a vaccine for lung cancer, would we block it because it would promote smoking?". I'm sure this will reach the Texas Supreme Court and overturn the executive order, because technically the Governor is supposed to enforce the laws that the legislature makes, not create his own.
I hope it isn't overturned. One of the biggest reasons for it, is to force parents to educate themselves on this subject. It's ultimately the parent’s choice if the child is vaccinated or not.
