San Francisco to consider decriminalizing prostitution

SOURCE

Quote:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - In this live-and-let-live town, where medical marijuana clubs do business next to grocery stores and an annual fair celebrates sadomasochism, prostitutes could soon walk the streets without fear of arrest.
San Francisco would become the first major U.S. city to decriminalize prostitution if voters next month approve Proposition K—a measure that forbids local authorities from investigating, arresting or prosecuting anyone for selling sex.
The ballot question technically would not legalize prostitution since state law still prohibits it, but the measure would eliminate the power of local law enforcement officials to go after prostitutes.

Seems like a bad time to do this, with the presidential election coming up. I, for one, would not want to give the radical right any more fuel, but I do think this measure is a generally good thing if it passes.

Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

Of course. There is no

Of course. There is no rational reason to outlaw 2 people having sex in exchange for money - assuming both are consenting adults.
