Wow WRT the comments about why the bill may be bad.
Talk about "the soft bigotry of low expectations"...some of these lawmakers suggest that preventing 18-20 year olds from working as strippers means they must turn to even seedier forms of earning a living such as prostitution, as if selling their bodies is the only form of "work" they are capable of.
Also, how would that even be possible since prostitution is already illegal in most places? I have been told repeatedly that making certain guns illegal would make everyone safer because no one would have those dangerous guns. Are we now saying that people will still willingly do things that are illegal? Color me shocked.
