Perry Panders to Wingnuts with HPV Antivirus Flop
At the risk of angering fellow conservatives, Perry has always insisted he did the right thing,” the Texas Tribune reports.
“That unapologetic approach changed this weekend.”
“A few hours after unveiling his campaign for president, Perry began walking back from one of the most controversial decisions of his more-than-10-year reign as Texas governor. Speaking to voters at a backyard party in New Hampshire, Perry said he was ill-informed when he issued his executive order, in February 2007, mandating the HPV vaccine for all girls entering sixth grade, unless their parents completed a conscientious objection affidavit form.”
