Scott Renfroe

Some legislators in Colorado are considering moving the state back to the Middle Ages.

A lot of Conservatives are against same-sex marriage or extending same-sex benefits, but Republican Scott Renfroe is REALLY against it.

Speaking on the floor of the Colorado state senate Monday about extending health benefits to same-sex partners of state employees, Renfroe called homosexuality “detestable,” and “an abomination according to Scripture.”

“I’m not saying (homosexuality) is the only sin that is out there,” he said. “Obviously we have sin — we have murder, we have, we have all sorts of sin, we have adultery, and we don’t make laws making those legal, and we would never think to make murder legal.”

Gay rights groups (and humans with more than one brain cell) took offense to Renfroe’s remarks equating health benefits for homosexuals to murder.

Sheesh. Those people are so fucking sensitive.

David Schultheis

Not to be outdone, yesterday, Colorado Republican David Schultheis took a moral stand against HIV testing.

For pregnant women.

According to the Denver Post, Schultheis said he voted against a bill requiring pregnant women to be tested for HIV because, he said, it would wrongly protect women and their unborn children from the consequences of “sexual promiscuity.”

“We do things constantly to try to remove the negative consequences of poor behavior, unacceptable behavior, quite frankly,” he said.

Quite frankly, you moron, it’s unbelievable for anyone who champions the rights of the unborn to vote against a bill that could protect the unborn from a disease which it could be saved from if caught early enough. Aside from the so-1980s notion that the only way a woman can get HIV is through sexual promiscuity, what does that have to do with the innocent, unborn baby. Do the rights of the unborn end if the mother slept around.

What a world view. If a woman gets pregnant via rape, her fetus has the right to live. If she gets pregnant and contracts HIV, her fetus can get sick and die.

Thankfully, Schultheis was the only legislator who voted against the bill.
