This article is pretty standard wingnut fare, and I was just about to go on past it when this paragraph caught my eye.

Schultheis voted in February against a bill requiring pregnant women to be tested for AIDS to prevent spreading the disease to the children. He said then that infected children would set examples for women against sexual promiscuity.

Wow.

It gets worse as he tries to explain it:

"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. 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. We can’t keep people from being raped. We can’t keep people from shooting each other. We can’t keep people from jumping off bridges. People drink and drive, and they crash and kill people. Poor behavior has its consequences."

I don't like it...

But how is that different from "take it [what ever misfortune that befalls you] as a test from the almighty, believe that he has good intentions for you" ?

Nothing new there. Shrug

For adults, maybe. For me perhaps, or you.

But not children. Not babies.

This is a new low.

No its not.
Its written that the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children unto the 7th generation.
The mean-spirited congressman was only proposing taking it out two generations - the kids, and the grandkids that would never be.

Its mean, its stupid, but its not new.
