Insanity: Republican lawmaker wants more babies to get HIV
Clearly thinking of the Children
Here’s the quote from the douchebag State Senator representing Colorado Springs:
“This stems from sexual promiscuity for the most part and I just can’t go there. We do things continually to remove the consequences of poor behavior, unacceptable behavior, quite frankly. I’m not convinced that part of the role of government should be to protect individuals from the negative consequences of their actions.
. . .
What I’m hoping is that yes, that person may have AIDS, have it seriously as a baby and when they grow up, but the mother will begin to feel guilt as a result of that. The family will see the negative consequences of that promiscuity and it may make a number of people over the coming years … begin to realize that there are negative consequences and maybe they should adjust their behavior.
He is against opt-out HIV testing of pregnant women. For those not in the know, with detection and proper treatment mother-to-infant transmission can be brought down to less than 1%. He hopes that more kids will grow up with AIDS to set an example to others about the negative effects of promiscuity.
My thought: if he wants to set an example to society regarding AIDS and promiscuity, he should volunteer himself. Perhaps the people of Colorado can vote on that.
