victory for health....
Major defeat for the religious right.
The FDA has approved a vaccine to protect against a sexually-transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer. (Cervical cancer affects over 10,000 women in the United States each year, killing more than 3,700 annually.) The vaccine was opposed by prominent religious right groups because they said it would be seen as a “license to engage in premarital sex.”
