Do you support Decriminalizing Sex Work?
But in what sense is banning prostitution an infringement on liberty?
How is it a civil right to have s–x outside of marriage, when that produces children, in many, many cases, who will grow up without a father-mother family structure, which leads inevitably to higher poverty and crime? Have we considered the plight of the children who may be conceived through such immoral ways?

Not necessarily gonna produce kids, hence the fact that so many manage to make a job out of it, and making it illegal just makes the disease and immorality far worse, leading people to go to worse places for that. It has a net benefit too it.

Not necessarily? What about the kids they do have, which number in the thousands? It deals a blow to the nuclear family, the building blocks of free societies, puts children at risk for abortion or a birth into poverty, and corrodes the morals. What's to like?
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Well contraceptives, “night-after” pills, and protection help lower that, and as you’ve said before, the adoption system is MORE than willing to help. This stuff will already happen, we’re just allowing it to be done in a safer manner.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
Help "lower" that – But not ELIMINATE IT, which is the only moral outcome for the children. I have said the adoption system is more than willing to help, and I have no doubt they would adopt children born of prostitution – but I don't have enough faith in human nature, which is sinful, to trust the already perverted and immoral parents not to murder their child in the womb or leave him in the streets, rather than try to find him a home.

Another false thing: prostitutes aren’t inherently bad people either. Most of them just want money, though it’s more likely for them to be bad people, we overall have a net positive gain for civil rights and safety of sex work.
