State representative Mandie Landry dropped a bombshell yesterday when she marked Sex Workers Rights Day (March 3rd) with the announcement that she would author a bill to do away with the laws that make the world's oldest profession illegal.
According to WDSU, Landry is talking about nothing less than making prostitution legal in the state of Louisiana. During a press conference yesterday, the Democratic representative from New Orleans said:
"The younger generation, people my age and younger, don't understand at all how the government could ever enter your bedroom and tell you what to do. If two people engage in a relationship in their own home, whether they exchange money or not, it's between them."
