Another black eye for Rhode Island

They also allow prostitution with a girl younger than 18 if it is indoors. There is a woman trying to get a bill passed to stop this...

They haven't even decrimminalized marijuana, and they haven't crimminalized prostitution with a minor, or a minor dancing in a strip club..talk about bent...

I think the author is merely trying to punish Rhode Island for having a backbone in standing up for the truth that genuine marriage is only between a man and a woman.

Sorry, that's just wrong. What's happening is that the people who are against the legal indoor prostitution are -saying- that there are legal underage prostitutes, which is flat-out false. See Section C of this law:

As for under-18 strippers, virtually everyone agrees that it's a missing law, but the police also checked -every- club and found that the only under-18 stripper was using a false ID that showed her to be over 18. All the club owners said that they had no interest in hiring dancers who were that young.

Also... Think about this: The age of consent is 16 in RI, that's the age you can drop out of school, hook up with anyone (of any age) that you want to, and have a baby.

In short, we -should- have a law that says you have to be 18 to strip, but we do not have an underage stripping phenomenon here.
