State Rep. Kelly Townsend (R), in a lengthy Facebook post on Thursday, warned that measles outbreaks are going to result in Arizonans having to “give up our liberty, the very sovereignty of our body.”

“I read yesterday that the idea is being floated that if not enough people get vaccinated, then we are going to force them to,” she wrote. “The idea that we force someone to give up their liberty for the sake of the collective is not based on American values but rather, Communist.”

The post came as Gov. Doug Ducey (R) said the state is “pro-vaccination” and said he would not sign any bills that expanded vaccine exemptions passed by the state’s House Health and Human Services Committee.”
