[QUOTE="Sisyphus, post: 1458054, member: 12616"] You're forgetting the most important point of all: pro-choice. My body my choice. If the state doesn't have the legal right to prevent you from taking a fetus out of your body then it doesn't have the right to require you to have some mystery chemical put into your body. Any legal precedent that allows for abortion should also allow for vaccine refusal. Interestingly enough, after Republicans, Blacks are the demographic polling as most resistant to the vaccine because of the history which includes the Tuskegee experiments, etc. American Indians are also expressing hesitation for the same reason. As to LawTalkingGuy's point, while it's true that [I]most[/I] of the zealots will find a way to ignore the contradiction, I think that some who are more moderate could be swayed by being forced to acknowledge the hypocrisy. If nothing else it will be a moral victory - at least they'll know that we recognize it and are exposing them for who they really are. Instead of being principled and consistent, they are nothing more than mere cowards who are able to be programmed to do the bidding of the manipulators. [/QUOTE]
