It is actually a position that aligns well with their "my body my choice" theme, as well as one that could bring in Libertarian leaning folks. Of all the problems the world is facing right now, The Oldest Profession is not even in the Top 100, nor would it bring a flood of unintended consequences (unlike most Lefty initiatives).

Legalizing it gives govt the ability to regulate it, which likely reduces STD risks, robbery risks (on both sides of the equation), gives another tax revenue source, etc. It's probably the one position they'd take (pun intended) that wouldn't spread (and another) more misery (as their initiatives usually do).

The moment they regulate sex work is the moment they'll try to regulate sex even among married couples. No thank you.

First hand knowledge from the VP. Finally a question she can answer with something other than, “I was born into the middle class...”.

“”””Legalizing it gives govt the ability to regulate it, which likely reduces STD risks, robbery risks (on both sides of the equation), gives another tax revenue source, etc.””””

It wouldn’t do any of that, it would be like pot, there would be some new legal prostitution, with open advertising and new hiring of young women and recruiting, marketing to new customers and so on, but regular hookers and prostitution would still be operating without cops harassing them because the registered with the government and the non-registered would blend together and would be pretty much left up to the IRS to bother with if they could.

Want proof that prostitution has not only been decriminalized but actually institutionalized?

Congress.

So when is it called prostitution and when is it called human sex trafficking?

The Porn industry loves the RATs. It will do anything to help them, even bring false charges against their opponents.

GOP response should be that it’s NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE

State laws govern this crime.

And leave it at that

you can bet your sweet cajones that IneligibleHarris, who built her political career on her knees, will push the legalization of “sex work”

it may wind up being just about the only work left for Americans if she’s elected, too

No, not like legal pot... Michigan just raised $100 million for K-9 schools from legal pot sales... And while pot is a medicine, sex work is a social ill.

People should study up peer-reviewed journals instead of “Reefer Madness” movies from the 30s.

Alcohol sales are more like prostitution that also decay the organs of the users.

Medicine doesn’t do more harm than good, and the comparison with the left’s drug trade arguments and how false they are is a good one for prostitution.

For better health.
