In fact, while I’m at it, here’s a legislative idea that would do much more to help prostitutes and homeless women everywhere:

1) Repeal laws denying education loans to drug offenders, since most street prostitutes have drug convictions.

2) Oh yeah, and repeal laws denying housing, benefits and food stamps to drug offenders, see ibid, above.

3) and maybe actually make living wage employment a real god damn PRIORITY for all low-income workers, including women, drug addicted, homeless or not. THEN MAYBE prostitutes will see a REASON TO LEAVE SEX WORK.

This is called putting your money where your mouth is.

This law may sound great for the “feminist” prohibition crowd, but that’s basically all it is, another form of prohibition laws dressed up to look like prostitute protection. And we all know how well prohibition turned out with alcohol and drugs.

There is another precedent that indicates this law will be more public relations than serious policy. The federal anti-trafficking act has been around with great fanfare for five years. Hundreds of millions in funding has led to what? About one hundred prosecutions, low-level crap at five millions dollars per case?

There are a lot of people who will profit from the new wave of prohibition laws, but it won’t be the women working in sex trade.
