6:43Now Playing"Measure B, the ordinance that will require porn workers to wear condoms in porn scenes shot in L.A. County, passed by a 56 percent majority on Tuesday. The measure also requires adult film producers to apply for a permit from the county's Department of Public Health to shoot scenes, and the permit fees will fund periodic film site inspections.
Supporters of the Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act, including the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, argue that the law will promote sexual health and workplace safety. "We were extremely gratified that not only did it pass, but it passed by a wide margin," said AHF executive director Michael Weinstein. L.A. County voters "saw it quite clearly as a health, safety and fairness issue," he added.
Most of the porn industry, however, is frustrated by Measure B. Diane Duke, executive director for the Free Speech Coalition, the trade group that represents the adult entertainment industry, called Measure B "unconstitutional" in a recent statement."* Is forcing an industry to change a fair safety measure, or taking away their individual rights? Do condoms ruin the illusion? Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Jesus Godoy, and Dave Koller break down the issue.
