The Democratic party has found a new consequence of climate change: prostitution. Rep. Barbara Lee and twelve other House Democrats issued a resolution stating that climate change can cause food and water shortages, which could lead impoverished women to turn to prostitution as a means of income:
[I]nsecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health, it says.
More broadly, the resolution says climate change will hurt marginalized women, such as refugees, sexual minorities, adolescent girls, and women and girls with HIV. It also cites Hurricane Katrina as evidence of how climate change can affect women, noting that the storm displaced over 83 percent of low-income, single mothers in the region.
The purpose of the resolution was to call on Congress and the President to recognize the effects on women, and to use gender-specific frameworks in developing policies to address climate change.
In the grand scheme of things, this resolution doesnt really accomplish anything or make much of a difference. However, it does epitomize the way that our culture uses climate change as an explanation for everything these days, while masking (and therefore hindering) the real problem.

I don't know about this one, but I'm sure climate change CAN impact you if you're already a prostitute. It's harder to drum up business in a parka and galoshes.

You’d think the House and Senate democrats would welcome new blood into the party.
To: Beave Meister
Maybe rep Barbara Lee needs to fork over more tax money to help her fellow sisters.

When will women start to take a stand against liberals? Don’t they get sick of being used as a class for a phony agenda?

Climate change isn’t costing people jobs. The jug-eared half-caucasian Marxist in the White House is costing people jobs. And I guess the House Dems are mad that women can always find some work, because they follow their leader and think that NO ONE should have an independent means of income.

I know we can’t require a test before allowing people to vote (even though we should).... but surely we can initiate some laws requiring all Congresspersons and Senators to pass intelligence tests.

These Dems apparently espouse a weird variation of the “Geraldine” theory of moral agency...”The Devil made me buy that parka!”

A loss of jobs can turn women into prostitutes.
America needs jobs.
Bring back American jobs.
To: Beave Meister
Due to democratic economic policies, prostitution is already overcrowded. Pimps have had to lay off many of their employees. Illegal immigrant prostitutes are putting American Prostitutes out of work by undercutting their prices. The DNC, one of the largest employers of pimps and hos is faced with having to close brothels in most red states. 0bama is considering a bail out. Proposed by former president Bill Clinton who says that prostitution is to big to fail, 0bama is about to issue an executive order to pump billions of dollars into the biggest service industry in the US. Hopefully this will not be a day late and a dollar shy. Only time will tell.

The good news is that all those new prostitutes will have no problem getting health insurance via Obamacare!
To: Beave Meister
Two can play this crazy game.
The high cost and taxes of Obamacare could lead impoverished women to turn to prostitution as a means of income.

I read the first line of ‘reasoning’ behind this theory to my husband and he said, “why don't they just go on welfare”.....heh!
