Wow, not even trying to hide the evil these days.
Republic State Senator Dave Schultheis (Colorado) votes against a bill that would make mandatory HIV testing (with the option to opt out for the woman) for pregnant women.
Why?
And then he felt he had to explain himself some more:
"“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,” he said. “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.”
You see, it is possible for a woman with HIV to give birth to a HIV-free infant - if she knows about her disease in advance and precautions are taken.
But, nope, this man wants the child to be sick.
Ass.

Why?
"Sen. Dave Schultheis, of Colorado Springs, on Wednesday opposed a bill requiring pregnant women to be tested for HIV so that if they are infected their babies can be treated to prevent the virus's transfer.
"This stems from sexual promiscuity for the most part, and I just can't go there," he said."
