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 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. 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 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?

Not all people who are prostitutes lie about the abuse from a pimp. The pimp deserves the most condemnation than a prostitution. It is true that by and large that the prostitution industry is very dangerous. Risks of STDs are high as compared to people having a normal, monogamous relationship. There are plenty of victims in prostitution like the women and the desperate people who are involved in such a crime. The reason is that a person places themselves in grave risk if they have sex with a prostitute in having a STD or other diseases. Also, many pimps are abusive and sting operations have occured to prevent abusive pimps. Also, many prostitutes aren't prostitutes voluntarily, but are kidnapped by criminals and forced into that lifestyle. Also, many prostitutes are desperate for help and are poor. The federal government shouldn't not have a big role in this, except for sex trafficking which can cross country lines. Sex trafficking is blatantly immoral as we would all agree on. People have forced people do things against their will for eons.


A simple example is in dictatorship from Nazi Germany to China today where you can't have certain children with risk of prison time.
