cervical cancer - finalFrom: ani (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 19 Feb 2000 19:03:27 -0600 (CST)
i didn't mean to imply that women should not have the test done, i was just curious as to why they do it if the risk seems so low. i would never, ever discourage a woman from having the test done and i think it's amazing that it's so eefective in preventing cancer deaths. but in this case i am willing to assume the risk and responsibility for my own health. i've never had sex with a woman nor do i intend to, either. if i did become sexually active, with whatever sex, i would not hesitate to have the tests done. but then again, having sex would be an even more major violation of the vows concerned... and i have no intention whatsoever of joining the army, nor do i particularly care what requirements they make of you. the point is that, government or not, they do not have the right to make you do something with your body that you do not wish to do, and ESPECIALLY when it violates a religious vow. it's odd to me that women have 'freedom of choice' in this country and yet the government feels that it has the right to subject a woman to this against her will. sorry, but that just does not make sense to me. anyway, the organization is probably going to waive the requirement, they said they've done it many times before and that i probably don't have anything to worry about. but these posts have been very educational to me and i appreciate your time. thanks again. -ani
