I wonder how different the legalization argument would go if we adopted a john-based enforcement system, where the whores weren't arrested but the men soliciting them were, and the men were barred from entering certain areas. You could just bust them by license plate number as they drove down Aurora on other business.
maybe i'm slow, but if you've been convicted of a crime and paid your debt to society, you are once again a free citizen. (probation, special commitment centers and no-contact orders, etc. not withstanding). i'm not seeing how they can justify prohibiting you from walking down certain streets - is this like some sort of zone-wide restraining order?
It's quite peculiar. One would think that when it comes to women having the right to do what they want with their bodies, they'd have the right to do something that didn't harm another being, like have sex for money, and they wouldn't have the right do something that harmed another being (like a fetus.) Yet, it's exactly the opposite.
I'm pro-choice when it comes to abortion and prostitution so I think both should be legal. I just think a much stronger moral case can be made for allowing prostitution and banning abortion than vice-versa.
It really would be much easier to make it legal and move it into the industrial areas or outlands. The money they lose on fines would more than be made up in taxes and that is their real concern. After all if a woman has the right to murder her child she should have the right to at least get paid for it.
If the government would quit giving jobs to the people that just get out of prisin and give them to the innocent citizens then they wouldnt have to have sex for money. There is a program in seattle that helps people who have felonies get a job but not the people without records
Too bad that everyone forgets that the recession has driven MANY single mothers, not just junkies into this world. If u don't understand the true psychology of it, shut up people!

Sounds like a replacement for the Fun Forest.
