The underlying bill was and still is great policy. I supported it with my initial vote and will continue to support it. The amendment that was added to this bill that seeks to legislate morality is what I vehemently object to. The sponsor of that bill, which ultimately became the amendment, only seeks to impose her individual beliefs on the entire state. There is no educational initiatives, programs for support, or anything that would actually curb, discourage, or eliminate the danger of human trafficking. It is simply a prohibition on adults.
