The government should not have a say in my health and my body... isn't that what women say? This is the same thing! Whether or not I need a pap smear or a mammogram is a decision between my doctor and myself.....

My daughter, a 16 year old, was raped... she was refused a pap smear. The doctor said, "You can thank your government for that"

With the taking away of the pap smear, Doctors are not doing pelvic exams... how will they diagnose trichinosis or vaginosis, or anything else? That is what has happened... it is not JUST about cervical cancer, it is absolutely about health care rationing and the rights of women to have proper, preventative healthcare.
