Democrats were outraged Wednesday morning when Republican state Sen. Dave Schultheis said he planned to vote against a bill to require HIV tests for pregnant women because the disease "stems from sexual promiscuity" and he didn't think the Legislature should "remove the negative consequences that take place from poor behavior and unacceptable behavior." The Colorado Springs lawmaker then proceeded to cast the lone vote against
SB-179, which passed 32-1 and moves on to the House.
UPDATE: Schultheis restates his opposition to the bill by claiming
HIV babies are punishment for promiscuous moms.
