Well, coming from the medical side of things I can look at it in a different perspective BUT- with that side I do agree with you. As long as you are not putting yours or your childs health in danger then what does it matter if you have your child in your home- a hospital- or the middle of the street for crying out loud!

But then again there are like 5 different drugs out there right now so that 90 year old men can get an erection but we still have cancer. Go figure?

I see - they used the trick of attaching something unrelated and destined to fail to kill the whole thing. If I had my way, it would be impossible for legislators to do that! Donna B.s last blog post..Alert The Media

Yeah, I think a woman has all rights to her body and her care for her children.It’s all about the money to them. In a way, they do kinda have laws about no shots. There are so many schools out there that will not let your child start school until they are caught up on all their shots.

I hate that health care has become only about money and nothing about health care. I chose and pay for out of pocket, my chiropractor/acupuncturist 99% of the time. Our pediatrician can't figure out why I don't bring my kids in PROMPTLY for their annual check ups. Why? So you can charge $200 to get their weight and height???? I already know both. What I hate more is that the government can't deliver my mail, I DO NOT want them in charge of my health care. But something needs to be done.

Krystal,
You totally have a valid point there. It is ridiculous and just makes my blood boil. I wouldn’t be surprised if they made some laws to force those shots on us, you know take the injustice a bit further. They are controlling us in EVERY other way they can and people are just not mad enough!

I am not sure how it is possible or why but “The Speaker had already said he would not hear our bill with that (abortion) language attached, so it would not have been heard any way.”
Somehow the abortion wording killed it.

How is med association using abortion to kill this? That does not make sense to me. Donna B.s last blog post..Alert The Media

The thing that really makes me mad is we can choose to have an abortion, but we cant choose how we want to birth our children. Dont get me wrong Im very pro choice, I feel that its a womans body its a womans choise. But that being said, when you choose to keep the baby you should be able to choose how you care for yourself, shots(you know how I feel about shots), meds, and birthing. Why does it always have to come down to money? Krystals last blog post..Being the "Other" Child
