A quick reading of the measure that will go before San Francisco voters in November to decriminalize prostitution easily could leave you with the misimpression that the measure is an exercise in fairness that demands that prosecutors go after men who abuse prostitutes and implement policies "to reduce institutional violence and discrimination against prostitutes." A careful reading of the initiative, "Enforcement of Laws Related to Prostitution and Sex Workers," however, shows a measure that shields child prostitution and traffickers of human beings.
"If I had just heard from the proponents, I would probably vote for it myself," said the Rev. Glenda Hope, whose San Francisco Network Ministries helped found the Tenderloin AIDS Resource, in the mistaken belief the measure is meant "to protect women." But as the executive director of SafeHouse, a residential center that helps women get off the streets, Hope knows too much.
Hope knows that the average age of entry into prostitution is 12 to 14. The office of San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, who opposes the initiative, has encountered prostituted children as young as 9 years old.
Yet the San Francisco ballot measure completely ignores the prostitution of children. The measure simply states, "Law enforcement agencies shall not allocate any resources for the investigation and prosecution of prostitutes for prostitution." Astonishingly, there's no exemption that encourages police to enforce the law for minors.
If the measure passes, the city is likely to become an international haven for pimps who peddle girls and boys, and perverts seeking sex with minors.

Today it is a cesspool of degradation and vice. If this measure passes, and I'm sure it will, the ruination of the city will be complete.
Sodom by the Bay.
This thread posted in April sure makes sense:

Secondly, and probably opposing, when did SF becaome it's own state.
That is disgusting. Lower than anything I have ever heard. Sick.
San Fernasco has always been a “sanctuary city” for pimps and pedophiles.
“If the measure passes, the city is likely to become an international haven for pimps who peddle girls and boys, and perverts seeking sex with minors.”
Perverts seeking sex with minors? I though Frisco already WAS full of gay men?
I know a lot of child prostitution already goes on in San Fran, but maybe God will be merciful to us as a nation and send a great and terrible earthquake or maybe another big fire to that dreadful place.
Big earthquake soon. Watch it...
I just can't understand what Debbie means by "become".
This is corruption of the human heart at its most repellent and disgraceful. What have these people become? I shudder to think of a suitable answer.
“It’s about time someone legalized prostitution for adults.”
Not that I agree with it, but it is already legal in one state.
I think that’s part of one state, IIRC.
A morality ping for ya.
one look at the pics of the fulsom street fair;
says it all about the perversion
You ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until after the rapture and no Christians are in the world to oppose these people.
Yes.
It is restriced (AFAIK) to just LV.
Thank you for correcting that slip.
: )
I think you could build a FR career just going from thread to thread answering questions and correcting minor errors.
“The SAGE Project’s Allen Wilson fears that the measure may prevail because the city has no shortage of rootless residents who “will vote for this because they think it’s cool.” For them, San Francisco is “one big sandbox.”

I’ve been reading about how families with children are now a rarity in Hedonism, U.S.A. This would be a logical consequence.
Anyone for building that “Escape from New York” containment wall?
