Sounds like a penicillin shot is in order.
Not to single her out, but for some reason I always get a hankerin' for some penicillin whenever I see Pam Anderson.

So if Kraft would have just gotten a massage and turned down all of the window dressing, then he wouldn't be in violation of the law yet he would have been secretly recorded in the buff by our govt. That's messed up.

This former prostitute says it's a horrible idea because it will only increase/encourage sex traffickers. But then she also mentions that she didn't want to report an assault because she was involved in illegal activity. Now ya know why I voted maybe.     Â

DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.
Should prostitution be legal? That depends. Do you believe that you own your body or the government owns your body?

Do you believe you own your business or the government owns your business. Apparently based on prior posts, you believe the government owns your business and can tell them who they must serve.

Businesses are not individuals, so that's not comparable. in fact, there's a reason why people  intentionally separate themselves from their business. Among other things, it's to avoid personal liability
but, are you going to answer the question of who owns your body?

So you lose your rights when you open a business? Well prostitution is a business too so why do you protect it with such vigor
implying prostitutes have rights other businesses don't have?

Do you lose your rights as an individual when you open a business? No. You, as an individual, are welcome to be as bigoted as you want to in your personal life. If you don't ever want to talk to a black person or do business with a black person, you don't have to
Again, a business and a person aren't the same thing, that's why people go to such lengths to separate themselves, legally, from their business.

That explanation is lacking. Courts have already determined that corporations have rights. A business that is a sole proprietorship is nothing but an individual involved in a business activity. No reason they should have less rights than a prostitute.

the courts have said that businesses have the right to put money into politics. That is not anything close to being granted the rights that we, as individuals, have.
prostitution is different than any other type of business, because you are selling your own body. Â
If you want to argue that, in this day and age with social media, there is less need for discrimination laws to keep bigots in line , that is a decent discussion to have. However, as we saw with masterpiece, the biggest flocked to his business to support his bigotry which was passed as religious freedom.
Unlike you, I don't want to go back to a time where you have to read the front window of a business to see if you will be served there. If you choose to enter the public realm by opening a business, you are agreeing to not be a dick bag.
