Rhode Island: Legalized Prostitution

S

It still amazes me that my home state has a loophole in the law that allows prostitution even to this day

what amazes me even more that there is a large group vehemently protesting the bill to overturn it legal status

:evil:
 
Why?

What exactly is wrong with prostitution? Is it a moral issue? All men pay for sex, some with money, others with dinner. Most men go after women for sex when they have no intent of ever having a real relationship with them.

Is it a public safety issue? Easy enough to fix.

Properly regulated, prostitution could make a state tons of money. Not only do you eliminate all the time spent tracking and arresting people for victimless crimes, you gain tax revenue, licensing fees, and create jobs.

The mob has a very strong foothold in this adult industry in RI(ie providence) for some time now. It is highly unlikely this is going to change anytime soon.

I totally agree with you. Making prostitution legal would, like you said, create jobs, create tax revenue, and generally make the practice safer (health-wise and crime-wise).

don't get me wrong, i don't have a moral objection to it one bit at all; i'm saying that if you poll the general population, i'm sure you'll find the overwhelming opposite opinion... especially when you roll it out to those red states

Selling is legal. Fscking is legal. Why isn't selling fscking legal?

In a nation where we allow abortions and kill people for tennis shoes why is prostitution a big deal? If some dude wants to get his wick licked by some toothless lot lizard, let him.

Once they finish opening up that 16yo loophole I foresee an AT mass migration to RI.

Where in RI are you? I'm South County. 🙂
 
I grew up in Newport. Well, Middletown to be exact, a few blocks from the naval base.

And to think my family moved away from that. I'm gonna have to ask my dad what the hell he was thinking.
