In its rush to destroy itself, California has gone and done this:
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Friday that lowers from a felony to a misdemeanor the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection. The measure also applies to those who give blood without telling the blood bank that they are HIV-positive.
Modern medicine allows those with HIV to live longer lives and nearly eliminates the possibility of transmission, according to state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblyman Todd Gloria (D-San Diego), authors of the bill.
“Today California took a major step toward treating HIV as a public health issue, instead of treating people living with HIV as criminals,” Wiener said in a statement. “HIV should be treated like all other serious infectious diseases, and that’s what SB 239 does.”
It's refreshing to see that in the eternal race between Eros and Thanatos, Eros generally comes out on top. But who was treating people with HIV as criminals? People with lethal communicable diseases have always been treated specially -- quarantine or exile was their fate in the past -- and few diseases have been combated with such alacrity and vigor as AIDS. To knowingly endanger the lives of others, not to mention to reinfect the public blood supply and receive in return a slap on the wrist, is just nuts. But, hey, rights.
Understand that this is just a “step” toward a more nefarious goal; decriminalizing the wanton transmission of this deadly disease altogether.
What I find especially wicked is allowing such diseased animals to donate blood with impunity.
Soon it will be a hate crime to complain that someone knowingly infected you with AIDS.
What’s knowingly exposing someone to a potentially fatal illness compared to a real crime- using the wrong pronoun?
You know- NY passed an unconstitutional ‘imminent need’ ‘safe act’ claiming they were soooo concerned about the ‘potential of people dying by the gun due to large ammo clips and ‘military style looks’ (whatever the hell that means) that they had to act immediately in order to stop those deaths- Yet here we have California doing away with a law that was meant to protect people from getting a deadly disease? Citizens should bring this case to the supreme court to have them overturn the new law claiming ‘imminent need’ just like NY did
Someone mentioned this to me the other day, and I think they have a point.
Sex (sexuality) is between a man and a woman. It's procreation.
Sensuality is something that taxes place between two people of the same sex.
So in California Sensuality Triumps over Death.
Perversion rules.
Who knew they wanted to come out of the closet for this?
The left practicing population control.
Weaponized sex is legal in California now .
Knowingly passing on tainted blood is not a right and should be a felony. This law is a solid indicator of total liberal insanity. I am so glad I left Cali, but now they are tainting the blood supply. My god they are stupid.
And yet the democrats demand condoms in the porn industry.
Usually when a democrat pushes a bill, it represents something personal, some kind of gain or profit, or some favor for a friend, family member, group, donors or supporters. The guy from SF is an open gay; don’t know about the guy from San Diego. What is the personal benefit here for both?
Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.
They seek to normalize their behavior to attain easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN.
In their final years of absolute rule, the while leftists running California are going a bit nuts. When the Hispanic leftists take over, there will be less focus on these fringe issues - their focus will be corruption and graft (doing it, not stopping it).
while = white
LOL.....
Pedophile infects kid with HIV...Kid dies of aids before rape trial..Pedophile in the clear ...

The gay bath house lobby wins big time.
