what the fuck. everyone and their mom wants to bitch about allowing religion in places other than the home and church, but when they come up with a way to prevent HPV and cervical cancer, its all about God? HPV is now the #1 STI/STD. Condoms don't protect from it. 1 in every 3 Americans have it, and majority of them don't realize it. It only shows itself physically in roughly 1% of the people who are carrying the disease. In males and in some females your immune system kills it out in a few years, but for a lot of women, it causes cervical cancer. And there's no sure-fire way to test for it. Unless you display physical symptoms (usually within 3 months or contracting it- if at all) the only way it will show up on any sort of test is by an abnormal pap smear in females.
