I suppose it's the issue of sexual promiscuity being an associated factor in the spread of HPV. Okay, let's play that scenario out in your family.
Say your darling daughter is never intimate with anyone except the young man she marries and stays with for life. Not likely in today's society, but clearly your (and my) preference.
Do you seriously believe the fine young man she marries will have had no other sexual partners before marriage? If so, it will not be from lack of trying. In other words, much less likely.
HPV is often asymptomatic in men, in other words they become carriers. Darling daughter may catch it from her faithful-once-married husband, develop cancer and die ugly.
All this because you didn't want your darling daughter vaccinated. That is a heck of a thing to do to your grandkids. If they knew what you'd done they'd abandon you in a rest home.
HPV vaccine prevents an ugly disease, cervical cancer. Preventing cancer is at least as good a goal as preventing other diseases. Maybe Perry should have asked his legislature to act on it, but trying to prevent cancer is no bad thing.
Something I believe Perry is less defensible on is illegal immigration. Giving illegal immigrants instate tuition at state colleges and universities, and being flabby on border enforcement are topics on which Perry is definitely weak. See this Byron York column in The Washington Examiner.
