Republican State Senator Schultheis: HIV testing for pregnant moms rewards "sexual promiscuity"

Schultheis voted against SB 179, which would require HIV testing for pregnant mothers, in the hopes that early detection could enable early treatment for the unborn.

Even more disturbing is that he actually devoted some thought to his decision.

"You know, this was a difficult bill for me. I voted yes in committee
on it because of discussions surrounding the fact that — well, let me just
basically say this, it basically modifies the communicable disease laws and it
requires the health care providers to test pregnant women for HIV unless they
opt out. And that’s basically, that’s the main part of this bill. I voted yes on
it. I was a little bit troubled with my vote and was just wondering what was
bothering me. I woke up the next morning — Thursday morning — at 5 a.m. and I
wrestled with this bill for another hour from 5 to 6 and finally came to the
conclusion I’m going to be a no vote on this. I’m trying to think through what
the role of government is here. And I am not convinced that part of the role of
government should be to protect individuals from the negative consequences of
their actions."

In an awesome follow-up, the Senator then goes on to say that having an HIV infected baby is a proper punishment for those whores.

“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.”

All of this comes right on the coattails of another Colorado Senator, Scott Renfro, who recently compared homosexuality to MURDER.

"After quoting Scripture to call homosexual behavior a “detestable act,” the Greeley Republican said it would be “an abomination according to Scripture” for the Legislature to “(take) sins and (make) them to be legally OK.”

He continued: “I’m not saying (homosexuality) is the only sin that is out there. Obviously we have sin — we have murder, we have, we have all sorts of sin, we have adultery, and we don’t make laws making those legal, and we would never think to make murder legal.”

So today's question is WHAT THE FUCK COLORADO?
