Texas Rethinks Prostitution Law

[jackfengshui]

Eleven years after making repeat prostitution (after a third misdemeanor conviction) a felony, Texas lawmakers now realize they may have made a big mistake.

Home of the King Ranch... you would think they would know better and just decriminalize for situations in which the prostitute is legally competent and not coerced.

It seems like they are just too cheap to pay to support their moral convictions, Which makes the whores of a different type in my book. I did get a chuckle when the legislator said they weren't locking up people they were afraid of, but rather they were just mad at. You would think that Texas Gov. Perry would take the free market approach he championed in his presidental bid and legalize prostitution.

Indeed. There are three indisputable reasons that prostitution should be legalized in Texas: (1) it would offset state budget shortfalls by creating another tax revenue stream, (2) requiring licensing contingent upon quarterly testing for STDs would reduce health risks and (3) ... Uh.....hehehe ...give me a second... Lemme think...hahaha - I can't remember the third thing....where the hell is Ron Paul when I need him?
