Missouri & WV work to expand parental vac rights

 

 

Dear Members and Friends -

The following legislation being introduced to Missouri and West Virginia

legislatures is another piece of good news. The next step will be to repeal ALL

compulsory vaccination laws. Afterall, if you want the shot, then get it. If

they do indeed work, then the vaccinated are protected --right? ~Ingri

Missouri, West Virginia Look to Expand Parental Immunization Rights

Legislators in Missouri and West Virginia have introduced bills that would

expand parental rights in medical issues-specifically increasing parents'

freedom to determine what, if any, immunization is necessary for their

children.

 

House Bill 1591 and Senate Bill 951 in Missouri would expand current

exemptions to mandatory immunization. H.B. 1591, sponsored by Representative

Merrill Townley, would change the current language, which only permits

objections for religious or medical reasons, to add " philosophical beliefs "

(accompanied by a notarized statement). S.B. 951, sponsored by Senator John

Loudon, would allow parents to simply object in writing for any reason.

 

In West Virginia, Senate Bill 139, sponsored by Senators Andy McKenzie and

Edwin Bowman, would add a provision to the mandatory immunization law.

Parents who have religious objections or who object " for good cause, " could

choose to exempt their children from the required immunizations.

 

While Home School Legal Defense Association does not take a official

position on whether or not parents should immunize, we do believe that each

parent should be free to make this decision without state coercion.

Therefore, we believe that these bills should be supported.
