Many citizens argue that whether you are for or against vaccines, the state is still taking away your right to choose. But doesn’t every law take away choice?

While these Senate bills are taking away the right of parents to use religious exception to not vaccinate their child, these bills are protecting the right to a healthy life for those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons such as the 4-year-old who has leukemia, the newborn who attended her first church service or your neighbor who is expecting.
