Cervical cancer vaccine approved

In a rare moment of comprehensive health policy, the FDA is slated to approve a vaccine that blocks most viruses that cause cervical cancer.
The drug protects against the two types of human papillomavirus, or HPV, which scientists believe is responsible for 70 percent of cervical cancer cases. It also protects against two other viruses that cause 90 percent of genital warts. All four viruses are sexually transmitted.
Frankly, I am outraged that our government would promote obvious reasons to engage in flagrant sexual promiscuity. What happened to abstinence? This moral indecency must be challenged.
