Knowingly exposing others to HIV will no longer be a felony in California

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,”

So in California a blood transfusion for a traffic accident may be fatal. But that’s a misdemeanor. While refusing to call some guy with a beard mam is a jailable offense.

Wickedness at Sodom and Gehemora levels.

laws have minimal effect on behavior, unless strictly enforced.

But, at least in the olden days, another reason for imprisonment rather than, for example, financial restitution and a punitive fine, was to isolate the criminal from society so that he would not simply immediately commit the same crime again. Reducing this crime from a felony to a misdemeanor is itself a crime against the public health.

Third world California. This state is rushing toward becoming a copy of Mexico. This is what Democrats do to places.

It’s all fun and games until some elite’s child gets HIV from a blood transfusion, then watch the crap hit the fan. (They never think they’ll be effected by the laws the pass).

“Knowingly exposing others to HIV will no longer be a felony in California”

But by gawd you better not call them by the wrong gender - it’s apparently the speaker’s responsibility to divine just what that gender might me on a specific day, I guess.

Because prostitutes are targeted? Are you serious?!

That may be what this article says, but we all know it is to protect the queers.

Holy cow. How did he [Jerry Brown] ever get re-elected?

Though there are a disturbingly high number of leftwing indoctrinated true believers in California, the odds of any of the elections for the last decade or two having been free of massive fraud are virtually zero. It is a one-party communist state. Period.

Build the wall on the east boarder of Kalifornica. Start the wall there. They’re more dangerous than illegals.

Heck, wall off the entire west coast. Wall off the NE coast, too. After we’re secure from them, then start on the southern wall.

I assume the law was meant to discourage HIV positive individuals from spreading the disease
= = =

Safe assumption.

Now who will get sued if someone gets HIV from a transfusion?

It will be the blood bank.

Once again the queer lobby trumps sound public health policy. As I mentioned on several occasions the number of adult male queers that spread HIV to young boys in the Bay Area of San Fran amounted to thousands back in the 80s and 90s and not a damn thing was ever done about it. The rape of young boys is simply a right of adult male queers.

Truly. We must pay taxes to buy anything illegals and homeless and criminals could wish. What is the point of living here?

Now my fear is that everywhere else we go will turn out the same. Even TX is changing.

Absolutely nothing is allowed to offend the sensibilities of sodomites these days, not even at the risk of public health.

The dick representative Weiner said that this was a big “step” in that direction. I wonder what the end game is, then?
