If states can force women to get medically unnecessary ultrasounds or listen to non-science-based "counseling" before an abortion it seems like they should also have the power to force parents to view videos of children who were maimed by polio or suffered brain damage from measles induced encephalitis before they opt out of vaccines.
- bryanrasmussen 8y agoIn the American system it is often politically easier to force people to do something in order to get something - such as force people to get ultrasounds before having an abortion - than it is to force someone to do something in order to abstain from something else (note, I don't say it's impossible many examples do come to mind, just it's more difficult). IIRC some places have tried to tie getting required vaccines to public school enrollment, but that is problematic because solu5ion is at state level and not national.
