CALL TO ACTION:

Oppose HB1118: A Dangerous Attack on Parental Rights and Medical Freedom

Background: Hawaii HB1118 is a bill that seeks to repeal non-medical exemptions for school vaccination requirements. If passed, it would mandate that all children attending school be vaccinated according to the state’s schedule, regardless of personal, religious, or medical reasons. Under this bill, parents would lose the ability to make informed decisions about their children's healthcare in consultation with their doctors, forcing them to comply with a government-mandated vaccine schedule.

Currently, Hawaii allows parents to opt out of vaccinations for medical, religious, or philosophical reasons. This bill would remove these exemptions and force families to make medical decisions based solely on

the government requirements. The potential consequences of HB1118 are far-reaching, not only Impacting parental rights but also setting a dangerous precedent for future government overreach in healthcare decisions.

Why We Should Oppose HB1118:

Undermines Parental Rights: Medical decisions should be made by families, not by the government. HB1118 removes parents' ability to make informed decisions in consultation with their healthcare providers, infringing on their right to direct the upbringing and health of their children.

Lack of Accountability: The bill does not address who will be held accountable if a child suffers an adverse reaction to a vaccine. Families should have the right to choose medical treatments for their children without fear of harm, and without government mandates forcing compliance.

Violation of Constitutional Rights: HB1118 violates fundamental rights guaranteed under the U.S Constitution:

First Amendment: Religious freedoms are protected by law, and the bill forces parents to go against their deeply held beliefs to keep their children in school.

Fourteenth Amendment: The Due Process Clause guarantees the right to direct one children’s medical decisions. HB1118 disregards this right.

Ninth Amendment: Rights not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, like the right to make personal medical decisions, are still retained by the people.

Dangerous Precedent: If passed, HB1118 could pave the way for additional government-mandated medical interventions in the future. What’s next—mandating other vaccines or medical procedures for children or adults? This bill opens the door for more state control over personal health choices.

Discrimination Against Diverse Beliefs: Hawaii has long prided itself on its respect for cultural diversity and personal freedom. HB1118 discriminates against families who hold different medical, religious, or philosophical beliefs by linking school entry to compliance with government-mandated vaccination schedules.
