Colorado Democrats have officially introduced a bill to fully decriminalize prostitution.

If passed, Senate Bill 26-097 would make Colorado the first state in the entire country to completely remove criminal penalties for buying and selling sex between consenting adults.

If enacted, the legislation would repeal the state criminal offenses of:

- Prostitution - Soliciting for prostitution - Patronizing a prostitute - Keeping a place of prostitution - Pandering related to arranging prostitution

In case you haven’t noticed, most, if not all modern Democrats are whores, “money for nothing and
tricks for free”.

I’m so old I remember when the Dims made sure to include prostitutes as #MeToo victims.

It’s not a mental disorder...it’s willful evil.

Naw. the Republican Party ultimately adopts the same policies as the Democrats, only a few years behind.

I’m only surprised that California didn’t beat Colorado to it.

Jeffrey Epstein would feel more at home here. Would just need to verify age is all.

I guess the people effected all have IDs. They’ll be necessary to determine age. 17 is nice within Colorado, hope people remember that if they cross state lines to participate it’s 18

Their congress-critters need to have employment when they retire from the legislature.
