I don't know how I feel about this topic. I see things from many angles.
It is not black and white for me either. It is even fuzzier when asked about requiring medical care for a child. I still get very angry with I think of the Neuman case where they allowed their daughter to die when a single shot of insulin would have saved her. But the Scalia in me, if I were a judge, would probably find them innocent in a court of law, but then take them to the back of the court house and punch both in the faces (off the record of course) for being so ignorant and callous to their daughter.

Yeah, I think most people just don't want to take the chance with the health of their children. But for those un-vaccinated, are they exposing others to illness and disease?

I wouldn't think so. If someone is "un-vaccinated" then they are still susceptible to the disease. That is the whole purpose of vaccination... also call immunization. They are immune per the shot so anyone else getting the disease shouldn't have any affect on the immunized.

From what I understand, that isn't true. Apparently, if someone catches the disease fill blown, the immunized are more susceptible.

I don't mean the immunized are more susceptible than the unimmunized. They would be more susceptible than they otherwise would be if they were not around people who had a full blown case, meaning that immunizations provide some protection but not complete protection. So, if there were an outbreak because people were not immunized, the unimmunized would be putting the immunized at greater risk.
