Decriminalizing prostitution — an idea gaining momentum among some Democrats, including at least one 2020 presidential contender — may one day be traced back to the hookers plying their trade under the elevated train along New York City’s Roosevelt Avenue.

That open-air market of prostitutes and johns in Queens, undeterred by the constant threat of arrest and incarceration, has been cited by New York state lawmakers mulling whether it’s time to wave the white flag in the war on the world’s oldest profession.

Published a while back but needs surfacing. The RATS trying to go after every radical and extreme vote that they can. Useless criminals.

Takes one to know one eh Kamala?

[gundog]

Lots of taxable income.

Democrats: Making sure the downtrodden get effed since 1828.

[ScottinVA]

She speaks from experience.

[Red Badger]

A subject she has intimate knowledge of, assuredly..................

[rwilson99]

It is only fair after all...

[Red Badger]

Yeah, that’ll crash the market................

Since this activity is legal in Nevada, I’m guessing that it’s really a states rights issue and not a federal issue. If the individual states wish to enact legislation to decriminalize or to legalize that really is the state’s option. It is not the FED option and constitutionally the FED doesn’t really need to get involved with state rights. So Kamala? What say ye oh Great and Mighty legal eagle?

She could expand on the idea of the TSA....unionized Federal workers: The Piece Corps.

That headline is awesome.

[SERKIT]

Pro-drugs, pro-sex, but she is excluding the pro-Rock-n-Roll lobby.

Three Nationality Harris knows something about the sex trade, she boosted her career on it.

Kamala and Cory need to get ready to go directly to Jail with her nephew Smollet.

They set him up and did all the planning that Smollet’s little brain couldn’t.

That open-air market of prostitutes and johns .

Makes it sound like al fresco sex.
Seriously, democrats always seem so worried about morality when it comes to conservatives.

If prostitution were legal, would it stop the trafficking in young girls and women?

I can agree, on a narrow point, that if consenting adults are doing things, then it is a “victimless” crime. But with so much trafficking and prostitutes who are NOT consenting adults, isn’t that a very different discussion?

I have heard about legal prostitution in rural Nevada, but don’t know if legalizing and licensing the activity has stopped trafficking there.

[[I can agree, on a narrow point, that if consenting adults are doing things, then it is a “victimless” crime.]]

It’s not a victimless crime- disease is spread by this activity- and innocent people get affected by it, doctors, nurses, health workers, hospital patients- etc= in many different ways- and we the people end up paying for lifelong very very expensive drugs and healthcare for those who engage in it-

not a federal issue
