Rhode Island becomes final state to ban prostitution

Rhode Island is now the last state in the country to ban prostitution. Last Wednesday and Thursday the Rhode Island House and Senate voted respectively to close an almost 30-year loophole in the statea s law that banned prostitution outdoors, but allowed it indoors.

It is above and beyond the time this should have been in place. Illegal seems to be a word that these legislators do not recognize.....illegal immigrants, prostitutes, etc. I worry for this country. We are allowing such scumbags to operate in the open, while hard working unemployed taxpayers are suffering. How about looking for more LEGAL and MORAL employment in this state??? Sorry, guess I am believing in miracles.

Good - the number of STDs will go down in proportion to the number of brothels that are shut down!

Representative Charles Levesque voted AGAINST the ban.
