Nice new fear mongering point!


Epidemics at the border! Except none have actually happened. The measles outbreaks in areas with under 90% compliance with vaccination regimes are well documented. The whole point of near total compliance is that when infected people inevitably slip through, the disease dies because the population is immune. I realize for you it's more fun to be insular and fearful and use this fear of outbreak as another reason to wall off the country from the outside world, but you can't eliminate the risk of infections getting through, no matter how desperately you huddle in the corner. You can immunize the entire population. Problem solved.

And what the hell is your analogy to abortion? Just more inflexible insistence that everyone agree with your POV, in this case, about when life begins? Presumably, you're equating an abortion of a fetus with a measles stricken 6 month old. Nobody disputes the rights of the 6 month old as a person. There's considerable disagreement about the fetus before viability, and many are concerned about a woman's freedom to make these calls for herself.
