What if someone took away your freedom to choose what is medically right for your child? Long but worth it?
This is long but it’s worth a read! Thanks!
I have been researching Obama’s 1000 page “Health Care Reform Bill” quite extensively lately. I have read and heard several news articles regarding this issue, however most were from Blogs or websites Obama supporters would call Right Wing Conservative Extremists (or whatever else they are calling Rush, Savage, Malsberg, etc. today). So when I found this article today, posted on CNS’s website a respected, unbiased news source, I felt I could finally bring up the question in here without ridicule by people refusing to see what is in front of them.
Please read the article: http://www.cnsnews.com/PUBLIC/content/ar…
Obama’s new Health Care Reform Bill that he is trying to rush into effect before the American people realize all of what is included in it, will take away our right, as parents, to choose whether or not to vaccinate our children or choose an alternative vaccine schedule if we deem appropriate. I find this inexcusable!!! I realize that many of you probably just follow the AAP’s immunization schedule anyway, but that is not the point. If the government is going to regulate this medical decision for our children, what’s next? Personally I am having my daughter vaccinated, but on an alternative and selective schedule because I believe that injecting a 2 month old with 7 different types of virus antibodies (many of which contain extremely controversial ingredients like aborted fetal tissue, cow’s brain tissue, aluminum, etc. etc. etc. ) at one time is just ridiculous and potentially very harmful on many different levels… and some of the vaccines like Varicella, are just plain unnecessary). I don’t mean to preach. By this time most of you have already made up your minds about whether or not to vaccinate and I respect everyone’s decisions. I just want my government to respect my decisions for my daughter too.
How do you feel about the government forcing vaccinations on your child? Would you submit or would you hold them off with whatever means necessary to protect your right to make your own choices for your child? (And for those of you who think this article is over-exaggerated, it’s not. It is straight out of the bill Obama is trying so hard to push through before August!) There are quite a few other extremely disturbing liberties that will be taken from us and put in the hands of the government (especially regarding elder care) as well but that is a whole other issue. I just want to focus on this part about our children and our rights as parents to raise them as we see fit. Please give me your thoughts, Anti or pro Obama, I am just interested in your thought pertaining to this issue; the loss of freedom to choose what is medically right for your child. Thanks so much in advance!

Oscar - I’m ready to fight for my freedoms, especially to decide what is or is not right for my daughter!
Busy Mommy - Good point!
Um, Tom Cat, I **** to disappoint you but most states allow exemptions from vaccinations. They are not a mandatory requirement for children to attend school. Just FYI.
Oh, and I didn’t say CNN was a reputable news source. Pretty much ALL prime time media is extremely liberal. That’s why you won’t find this information on a regular news website. As far as most of the public is concerned (including you apparently) if it isn’t on the mainstream newscast, it doesn’t exist! Sad really.
