Eugenics marriage bill faces House setback
The eugenics marriage bill failed in the House by 22 to 63 when it rejected the conference report that would have greatly altered the terms. The Senate had already accepted the report and a new conference committee may be named. Supporters doubt an accord is possible as major objections center on the weakened effect of the discarded report. The current bill requires an affidavit by each fiancé asserting freedom from venereal disease to the best of their knowledge. Opponents argue affidavits lack supported knowledge without medical exams. Supporters say the affidavit may raise awareness and encourage voluntary tests and treatment before marriage.
