I get it, it's stupid to not vaccinate your kids. My kids were vaccinated (and I'm a church-going Christian) and any future kids will be also. But, are we really going to force people this upon people? Seriously? In the land of the free?
Yes, when your choices impact on public health and safety this is no longer a choice you are allowed to make. The exact same logic is why you can't smoke indoors in most of the country.

If your kid not being circumcised exposed me infant to a possibly fatal disease then we'd have the beginning of a comparison. False equivalency is probably the primary reason why public and political discourse in this country has become a joke.
