Sex work is work.

No wonder they want the police abolished

Figures you’d make a joke out of sex slavery.

Why is no one surprised?

People exactly like him were the main reason I quit the Governors office and got out of politics as a profession. Too many slime balls in OR and WA politics. If you aren't as slimy as them you get disillusioned real quick. The only good person I knew in Salem was the Governor himself.

Sadly I don’t think it does.

“It’s true that current efforts by various European countries to legalize prostitution have been far from perfect. In the Netherlands, certain components of the legislation, such as requiring sex workers to register and setting the minimum age for prostitution at 21, could drive more sex workers to illegal markets. Not only that, but studies indicate that legalizing prostitution can increase human trafficking. However, even those who are critical about legalizing prostitution can recognize the benefits that legislation can have on working conditions for sex workers.”

A lot of freedom loving patriots such as myself like to draw a straight line between legalizing/decriminalizing and a reduction in the harmful impacts of whatever was legalized. E.g. marijuana - state legalizes it, cartels and street dealers are driven out of business. Win-win.

Admittedly, that doesn't appear to always hold up, and prostitution is a good example. Legalizing it just provides that much more cover for cheap sources of labor, i.e. sex slaves, and I don't know if there's a way around that without heavy government involvement in the trade. And I'm guessing a government bureau of sex workers whose job it is to verify the identities of sex workers is a political non-starter.

It's not. They're a top 10 state in terms of instances of human trafficking.

That probably has more to do with all the drunk women making easier targets for abduction than the legality of sex work. Either way, I don’t think legalizing it is the answer.

Uh no not entirely. Pot stores create an entire crime wave around them. They stack cash and get robbed, kidnapped, family kidnapped etc. Also they export their pot to illegal locals where they can sell it for much higher prices. you've just moved production into our country instead of it coming from Mexico and Canada.

All that was happening before pot legalization.
