re: #448 RogueOne

Doesn’t really say, but probably. I can understand the city wanting to clamp down on street walkers but labeling them as “sex offenders” opens up an entirely different can of worms. If a woman is selling herself out of desperation putting the sex offender tag on her certainly isn’t going to ever help them get their lives together.

Prostitution is called the oldest profession for a reason— it is.

If people want to stop it (imo, impossible) they ought to be targeting the pimps and johns at least as much as they do the prostitutes.

And they need to ensure that the women who resort to it can get out of it — or have ways of climbing out of it. Education, job opportunites, and the like.
