As a truth it should be able to stand on principle rather than power politics. We are seeing the battle between principle and power politics being waged today. If it is decided favorably, it will be because the straight position is one of principle, not of power politics. The chiropractic principle is a truth, and as such it does not conflict with other truths and principles. One principle in chiropractic relates to the right of the individual to make decisions regarding his or her own health.
Immunization is an historical example.
It is a medical procedure involving a medical condition, therefore straight chiropractors do not take a position on it. However it is also a health issue and chiropractors defend the right of individuals to make their own decision regarding their health and the health of their children. As much as chiropractors would like to see everyone under chiropractic care on a regular basis, to pass laws requiring regular chiropractic care would be in conflict with our principle. That law would deny individuals the right to make their own decisions regarding their health. Our job would be easier if everyone were forced to be under chiropractic care, but forcing them would be inconsistent with our philosophy.
