AUSTIN, Texas - Merck & Co. is helping bankroll efforts to pass state laws requiring girls as young as 11 or 12 to receive the drugmaker’s new vaccine against the sexually transmitted cervical-cancer virus.
Some conservatives and parents’-rights groups say such a requirement would encourage premarital sex and interfere with the way they raise their children, and they say Merck’s push for such laws is underhanded. But the company said its lobbying efforts have been above-board.
With at least 18 states debating whether to require Merck’s Gardasil vaccine for schoolgirls, Merck has funneled money through Women in Government, an advocacy group made up of female state legislators around the country.

I'm sorry, but every time Merck thinks it's got a good idea, it tries to get law passed to force people to get the drug or vaccine they came up with.
I'm not opposed to the vaccine itself, I'm opposed to the idea that the government gets to tell me that my daughter has to have this vaccine.
