Although this fact has not been widely known, prostitution between consenting adults has been decriminalized in the state of Rhode Island since 1980 (see http://www.projo.com/news/content/PROSTITUTION_LAW31_05-31-09_NVEHGBH_v161.3e90048.html) as the result of a lawsuit by Margo St. James and the group COYOTE (Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics).
Now however, anti-sexuality forces are seeking to have the state legislature recriminalize sex work there. Please spread this message and take the time to make some calls and send some emails to members of the state legislative Judiciary Committee keep this from happening!
