California Democrats legalize child prostitution
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/29/2016 | travis allen

Beginning on Jan. 1, prostitution by minors will be legal in California. Yes, you read that right.

SB 1322 bars law enforcement from arresting sex workers who are under the age of 18 for soliciting or engaging in prostitution, or loitering with the intent to do so. So teenage girls (and boys) in California will soon be free to have sex in exchange for money without fear of arrest or prosecution.

This terribly destructive legislation was written and passed by the progressive Democrats who control California's state government with a two-thirds "supermajority."

To their credit, they are sincere in their belief that decriminalizing underage prostitution is good public policy that will help victims of sex trafficking.

Unfortunately, the reality is that the legalization of underage prostitution suffers from the fatal defect endemic to progressive-left policymaking: it ignores experience, common sense and most of all human nature — especially its darker side.

Our family fled the state when Gray Davis was elected governor. The place has gone from an armpit to a cesspool in less than two decades. Apologies to any conservatives still trapped there.

Thank you for your coherent explanation of the actual language of the bill.

If we could all take a deep breath and deal with facts then we will be that much more believable when it is necessary to speak hard truths.

Did none of you read “Chicken Little” or “The Boy who Cried Wolf”?

Apologies to any Freepers who live in Cali, but I really cannot imagine why anyone *would* live there. It sounds like the worst kind of liberal hell on earth. I was just looking at the most wanted in LA for example, this is hell. That whole city is just completely and utterly overrun by foreign criminals, and this is JUST the most wanted they are listing here. Los Angeles IS under attack by foreign invaders, how the F can anyone willingly live there? How can you raise a family in that kind of environment?

The “CA democracy” is really beloved there though.

I agree...waiting for the San Andreas fault to do its thing and split the liberal areas from the rest of the state will take too long.

The southern end is overdue to let go.

But remember; the earth does NOT 'split open' like in did in the Rock's disaster movie San Andreas.

This is probably part of why they, the Democrats replaced Loretta Sanchez with Kamalla Harris.

So are they still going to arrest the people who solicit the underage prostitutes? Does anyone know the answer? Both Clintons, Obama, Biden, and Jeffrey Epstein all may want to consider moving to California.

Well, yes. It’s an inaccurate, inflammatory headline intended to get clicks at the expense of responsible journalism.

It is just another step towards decriminalizing pedophilia to satisfy the perverts in Hollywood.

You have to wonder...

Legalizing marijuana leads to increases in traffic and draws people from out of state. Just imagine what legalizing child prostitution will do. California will become a Mecca for child traffickers and those to whom they appeal.
