  1. Why not legalize prostitution while we’re at it; the same arguments can be made for doing so. I mean, medically, it relieves all those long-suffering wives and girl friends from having to provide “services” they might despise…and think of all the revenue we’re missing, tax-wise…you know, “for the children,” like the state-run lottery.

  2. With this level of general support the General Assembly should act now, indeed should have acted by now, if they really represented their constituents. But, the GOT only represents special interests and act to preserve their power. Even with the splashy headline and general support in the piece, Abdul is still towing the party line that we have to wait until the federal government acts before Indiana “flips the switch.” In many other contexts, particularly social programs, Indiana GOT tends to snub its nose at the feds telling us Hoosiers what to do. The hypocrisy never ends.
