This is disgusting.    Remember this cool ongoing study which had already demonstrated that the vaccine in question was 97% successful in preventing cervical cancer in women, and after only the first dose?  There are those fundamentalists on the far right who believe it should be withheld because it promotes sex among teens.  Horrifically sad.

I considered writing a scathing diatribe of this aberrant, abhorrent behavior, but instead I will recommend that you see PZ Myers' response over at Pharyngula.  It accurately summarizes a significant part of my own feelings.

Update: Atrios very simply infers another good question.
