Teen pregnancies, HIV and AIDS skyrocket in Jim DeMint's South Carolina

Poor education, poverty, conservative attitudes towards sex education and lack of access to health care and health insurance mean more teen pregnancies (13th in the Nation according to the Center for Disease Control) and skyrocketing increases in HIV, AIDS and other STDS and a high teen age death rate.

It's hard to understand Senator Demint's hostility to better access to health insurance when South Carolina is:

Senator Demint explains flip flop on "Romney care"

While a whopping 16.1% of South Carolinians go without health insurance and while the State makes cuts to Medicaid, Jim Demint continues to resist measures that would insure nearly every South Carolinian and every American against the huge costs of health care.

Senator Demint supported Mitt Romney's 2008 Presidential campaign and praised him for his health care initiative in Massachusetts saying it was a great example of private solutions to the huge public problem of providing health care to the millions who go without it.
