Knowingly exposing others to HIV will no longer be a felony in California
L A Times ^ | Oct. 6, 2017, 4:18 p.m.

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.

...

Supporters of the bill said women engaging in prostitution are disproportionately targeted with criminal charges, even in cases where the infection is not transmitted.

Republican lawmakers including Sen. Joel Anderson of Alpine voted against the bill, arguing it puts the public at risk.

“I’m of the mind that if you purposefully inflict another with a disease that alters their lifestyle the rest of their life, puts them on a regimen of medications to maintain any kind of normalcy, it should be a felony,”

Oh, well, if it’s just a misdemeanor, I’m going bareback. /S

More seriously, laws have minimal effect on behavior, unless strictly enforced.

>>California is truly going insane.

Or consciously liberal. If they manage to infect a growing percentage of the people with HIV, does this mean it increases the pressure to allow people with HIV to become blood donors? Or does it normalize HIV?

All for Poofters they appropriate
All for Buggery they freely take
Don’t imagine you deserve protecting
If a Pervert doesn’t get his way

They will take it all
They will take it all
Marraige, free association, even your life
If we let them take it all!

Amazing !

“...thinking themselves wise, they became fools...”

CA gets themselves all worked up about pseudo-menaces like global warming, gun ownership by honest citizens, and historic statues.

While they ignore the risks from criminal illegal immigrants, moslem terrorists, infrastructure collapse due to earthquakes, and AIDs infecting fags...

We’re making such amazing progress out here in CA, somehow, the term “progressive” seems to be consistently falling short.

Does this mean we can quarantine the entire population of the state as a human health risk?

Then they must allow hunting of hiv positive preditors. For sport and for retribution. License 2-5 a year with ear tags and only a misdemeanor if you take more than your limit.

Each day is more absurd here.

Let’s not make life better for citizens. No. Make it better only for criminals. What could go wrong?

I know a liberal that moved to California and is constantly making fun of his “redneck” home state. Needless to say, he doesn’t get invited to any high school reunions. Anyway, this guy hates gays. I know This kind of law eats his lunch. Hee Hee
