Oh For Crying Out Loud..!!! How antiquated is the thing. Please; let's keep religion out of the debate as it just makes things worse for everyone. This is 21st century America. Get with the program!!
Oh Yeah Kathy; These girls really look SOoooo unhappy!!! And at $500 an hour, I don't think they are poor either.
No; prostitution doesn't need to be stopped. FORCED prostitution ie; trafficking and slavery, needs to be stopped. There IS a difference. Wake up people.
Catherine; WOW!! Well put. I couldn't have made a better argument. Btw; How IS the sex trafficking trade there in Canada? Non-existent if my suspicions are correct. Someone made the ridiculous argument that there are not enough willing participants to fill the demand. Maybe if it were legal; there would be.
I would also like to know why my post was deleted that contained a link to some Beautiful, Happy, Healthy, Well Paid Ecsorts in AtLanta Ga. Maybe because they are the Perfect rebuttal to Amanda's argument for keeping prostitution illegal? Hmmmm???
There's a difference in between being a captive of anyone and a Cathouse where the women are willing participants. This should not be criminalized. Only holding women captive against their will and forcing them to comply should be a criminal offense. That and anyone beating, raping, threatening, or killing a woman engaged in the sex industry should also be prosecuted. Many times these crimes go unpunished because they are only prostitutes. HOW SAD!!!
"The reason that women are capable of being "enslaved" is directly connected to the fact that it is illegal."
You are So right Loyal patriot. You know what most people do many are simply refusing to accept it, that legalizing prostitution would bring an end to trafficking and sex slavery. I commend you for your intelligent and insightful comments.
For everyone against legalization of prostitution. Take a look at the reality of women who provide sex for money by their own choice!!! I think you will agree it is a FAR different world than the one presented by Amanda.

Tell me. Do THESE women look like they are being degraded, abused or mistreated?
Mike Conway; you are absolutely right. Prostitution is a victimless crime UNLESS; the woman is being forced to perform against her will OR; is the victim of some type of violence or abuse by either her pimp or a customer. As I stated in one of my previous posts, we need to begin looking at this problem less from a standpoint of how we feel about prostitution in general and more from a standpoint of how we Protect and Empower women who are already in the industry, regardless of how they got there.
There are ways around this law. I am willing to bet that prostitution in Sweden has not come to an end but you will never know it because it is not illegal to give sex for free right? So what if the john simply pays far in advance and there is no exchange of money at the time the sex is provided? Or; what if they make some other type of arrangement, like the john simply pays some bills or buys the woman something that she can then sell to get cash? Where there's a will; there's a way and I'm sorry to inform all you goody two shoes out there; there will always be a will.
I am not a pimp. Far from it. I have never acquired the services of a prostitute. However; I see nothing wrong with a man (or woman) Managing a prostitute or a brothel of prostitutes PROVIDED; the women are there OF THERE OWN FREE WILL!!!! And therein lies the difference. Why are we SO against freedom of choice in this country?? What the hell is wrong with us?
