More about Unterman:

Unterman, a registered nurse and social worker and vice chairwoman of the Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee, has long been an advocate on issues surrounding girls. It has not always been easy among her colleagues in state government.

“I could not talk about sex at the Capitol,” Unterman said, adding that she has already heard whispers that she is trying to decriminalize prostitution. “I was trying to talk to 50-, 60-, 70-year-old men about men trying to have sex with 14-year-olds.”

During the last session, she introduced a bill that passed and created better reporting of child sex trafficking. She also proposed a bill that would have charged people $5 to get into a strip club, with that money going toward the treatment of young prostitutes, and another bill that would have raised the age to get a stripping license from 18 to 21. Those last two bills failed, but Unterman plans to revisit them. This latest bill, she said, is a continuation of that work.http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/bill-would-rehabilitate-girls-279240.html
