California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday vetoed legislation that would have provided teenagers attending public high school with access to free condoms and prohibited retailers from refusing to sell them to youths.
Newsom said that although he agreed that providing condoms are 'important to supporting improved adolescent sexual health,' the bill would have created an unfunded program that was not included in the state's annual budget. 'With our state facing continuing economic risk and revenue uncertainty, it is important to remain disciplined when considering bills with significant fiscal implications, such as this measure,' Newsom said in his veto statement.
There are also risks of youth passing unwanted sexually transmitted diseases, according to the bill’s analysis, which cited that 5 in 10 chlamydia cases in California are young people, disproportionately affecting people of color. The bill raised some concerns for conservative groups, including the California Policy Council, that argued that “handing out free condoms perpetuates” a hook-up culture in which “sex is meaningless and done for fun with multiple partners.
