The war on prostitution (and sex) needs to end

I don't agree with John Stossel about everything but I definately agree with him that the government must end the twin wars on drugs and prostitution. Of course prostitution that involves women forced into it is should and continue to be illegal but many sex workers enjoy...

If you make $500/hour as a sex worker, are you really a victim?

Prostitution in the vast majority of the U.S. is illegal. Period. Even when there is no victim. Now if someone is forced into prostitution, than yes, there is a clear victim. If someone is underaged. If someone can't reasonably consent. In all these cases, go after those who...

Police use attractive woman to get men to entrap themselves

I have railed against our war on sex laws, especially prostitution laws, in the U.S. Prostitution should be legal and regulated. We don't see the problems with prostitution in Nevada, as in the rest of the U.S. I also favor making marijuana legal, but again, regulated. I have...

How government violates our rights: from searches to prostitution

A few observations on how the government violates our rights. A 1985 United States Supreme Court Case stated it was perfectly fine for the police to search the purpose of a public schools high school student. So much for probable cause, and the 4th Amendment, don't you think?...

G.B. prostitution charge shows absurdity of prostitution laws
