About 20 years ago, when the last serious effort to legalize prostitution ws gearing up, we used to heard endlessly that prostitution was a “victimless” crime...well..that’s shown not to be the case..

You might ask yourself who are the "victims" of criminalizing prostitution?

How about the prostitutes themselves who are put outside the law and left to the vicious mercies of pimps?

How about the police force which is corrupted and made cynical by unenforceable laws about morality?

How about a judicial system and a political system where our judges and politicians find themselves hypocrites for outlawing the prostitutes that they frequent?

How about the innocent folks with nothing to do with prostitutes but who find themselves the victims of street crime because the neighborhood deteriorates?

How about the innocent folks who find that their justice system grows more and more corrupt and hypocritical?

How about the taxpayer whose taxes are squandered uselessly on jails to incarcerate and courts to convict?

List of victims goes on and on.
