(53,016 posts)It's about the impact of the sex trade, human trafficking, the harassment and rape of children, and the fact that underage boys, girls and even children are commonly preyed upon as prostitutes or as bystandders living in areas where prostitution occurs.
Prostitution is a local issue. You can work to legalize it in your own community. You need not work to put it in poor neighborhoods. You can put it where the Johns live, next to their children's schools instead of ours. I have yet to see a single person agree to that. They make excuses about how poor neighborhoods are already bad, so what would it matter. The middle-class and upper-middle class sit back and theorize about their capitalist Utopias while showing not even minimal concern for lives devastated in the process.
