The opponents of this proposition K are telling lies, and scare tactics to get people to vote against it. By lying and saying that all prostitutes are forced to do it against their will. Yet they can never find anyone who was a victim of this. Where are all these victims? Why aren’t they coming out and talking and showing themselves? It’s just a made up lie. It is very difficult to force anyone to do something against their will. They would need 24 hour guards, and be watched over like being in prison, with no chance to escape. Try getting someone to do something they don’t want to do and see how successful you are - you won’t be. Since this is a victimless crime, the opponents and racial feminists need to invent a victim in order to get support. They could have chose the johns, the hookers or the city itself. They chose the hookers to be the victims even though it’s the hookers who want to decriminalize because they realize it’s the police, justice system and the government that hurts them, not the johns. Why is it that the ONLY people who are working for this to pass are the prosititutes themselves? Why would the victims themselves want this to pass? Maybe it is because they are victims of the police and justice system who abuse them and their customers. By the way, there is a federal law the says any foreigner who was a victim of prostitution in the USA if they go to the justice department and complain and help prosecute their pimp, then they can stay in the USA, get a green card and become a US citizen. So that means these women will then be encouraged to lie about it, in order to become citizens. So if you are a woman, just lie, pick a random guy to be your pimp and you can become a US citizen, and get money from the government. Easy - isn’t it?

The opponents of this proposition K are telling lies, and scare tactics to get people to vote against it. They are saying that all prostitutes are forced to do it against their will. Yet they can never find many victims of this. Where are all these victims? Why aren’t they coming out and talking and showing themselves? It is very difficult to force anyone to do something against their will. They would need to kidnap women, hide them away, have 24 hour guards, have them watched over like being in prison, with no chance to escape, force them to have sex with the general public, all under the radar of police and the general public. Do you think just anyone can do this? Do you think this is so easy that it happens all the time? Try getting someone to do something they don’t want to do and see how successful you are - you won’t be. Since this is a victimless crime, the opponents and racial feminists need to invent a victim in order to get support. They could have chosen the johns, the hookers or the city itself. They chose the hookers to be the victims even though it’s the hookers who want to decriminalize because they realize it’s the police, justice system and the government that hurts them, not the johns or pimps. Why is it that the ONLY people who are working for this to pass are the prostitutes themselves? Why would the victims themselves want this to pass? Maybe it is because they are victims of the police, justice system, and government who abuse them and their customers. These are the real abusers.

People stating that ALL prostitution is rape, and ALL women are forced to do it is extremely ignorant. There may be very rare cases of organized crime with the resources and power to pull this off with women who cannot think for themselves. But this is very rare. This will always be against the law. Most women know full well what they are doing, and go out of their way to do it. Again and Again doing everything in their power to remain in the business. There are many different types of prostitution. Women who cannot think for themselves, or are on drugs, or do not enjoy the work should not be in the business. If they are, they need to leave now! Does this mean ALL prostitution women are like these women? By the way I am talking about adult women. Since they are a few women in the world who cannot think for themselves does this mean ALL prostitution should be illegal?

Most high priced call girls love their work. Because they can think for themselves, and can use their brain. Having women make good money, sometimes even more than lawyers and doctors per hour elevates women. Woman know how to handle men in the bedroom. Women get men to pay lots of money for it. This is empowering to women. There are many jobs that you may consider demeaning, such as cleaning bathrooms, or putting up with bosses that put you down. While making minimum wage. Why don’t people talk about these low paying toilet cleaning jobs? You don’t think these jobs demeans women? How many unskilled women with no work experience and not much education can make hundreds, even thousands of dollars per hour? Would you rather have these women make five dollars per hour cleaning toilets? Prostitution if done correctly elevates women especially if they work for themselves. Government should not control who people have sex with. That is the biggest government control that is possible. If the government tells people who they should sleep with, what is next? That is the highest level of the government controlling the people that can possible happen. If the government controls the most private, personal sex relations, what is next?

The opponents of this Proposition K are telling lies, and scare tactics to get people to vote against it. Proposition K requires authorities to enforce existing laws that prohibit coercion, extortion, sexual assault, underage workers and other crimes regardless of whether or not the victim is a sex worker. So this is not a valid augment. The opponents are saying that all prostitutes are forced to do it against their will. Yet they can never find many victims of this. Where are all these victims? Why aren’t they coming out and talking and showing themselves? It is very difficult to force anyone to do something against their will. They would need to kidnap women, hide them away, have 24 hour guards, have them watched over like being in prison, with no chance to escape, force them to have sex with the general public, all under the radar of police and the general public. Do you think just anyone can do this? Do you think this is so easy that it happens all the time? Try getting someone to do something they don’t want to do and see how successful you are - you won’t be. Since this is a victimless crime, the opponents need to invent a victim in order to get support. They could have chosen the johns, the sex workers or the city itself. They chose the sex workers to be the victims even though it’s the sex workers who want to decriminalize because they realize it’s the police, justice system and the government that hurts them, not the johns or pimps. Why is it that the ONLY people who are working for this to pass are the prostitutes themselves? Why would the victims themselves want this to pass?
