I knew there'd be a variety of different responses when I posted this article and to be honest, I have absolutely NO idea how I feel about this policy.

I have a problem with people talking or acting like a govt payment is "owed" to them or is a "right". Governments choose to make payments to certain member of society for different reasons. If one of the platforms of the government is a pro-vax platform then you can expect certain exclusions to payments based on that platform. However, I also have a problem with government dictating parenting choices. I guess for me it comes down to what they are excluding. As payments are not a "right" I don't have as much of a problem with them being withheld. I would however, have a serious issue with state schools excluding non-vaxxed kids as state-funded education is absolutely a right. Not sure if that makes sense. It does in my sleep-deprived, pregnancy addled brain.
