It's all in the way that politicians present the bill. It is very easy to think that it's a good idea to pass a measure that basically says "should porn stars have to wear condoms in order to prevent AIDS."
For the average person that does not think of consequences, this seems completely rational. If they added the effects or the fact that porn stars have less stds per capita than the general population or that we are now going to have gov bureaucrats sitting in on porn shoots to enforce the rules, then I don't think it would have passed so easily.
There is only so much that a small industry can do to educate the general population.
