Government health officials in Minnesota testified last Monday that rates of sexually transmitted diseases are increasing, particularly among urban women, and that a proposed bill to increase funding for testing, treatment and education might stem the steady rise in rates and curb teen pregnancy.
The bill was heard by the Health, Housing and Family Security Committee, where it passed by a voice vote on Monday.
Minnesota has a governor with close ties to the religious right. It’s likely that the bill will not pass.
