>Hawaii lawmakers are considering a bill that would decriminalize prostitution in the state.
>The bill, introduced by House Speaker Joseph Souki, would also end a state law that states police officers cannot have sex with prostitutes in the course of investigations, the Associated Press reports.
>The bill, HB1533, specifies that it “repeals the penalties for consensual adult prostitution.”
Why is the freedom to one's own person a bad thing? It seems a valid libertarian/liberal maxim.
Quite frankly, this isn't the government's place.
Luke Cook
Because of the inherent dangers of trading sex, it should be regulated to some extent. The brothel system in Nevada works surprisingly well.
Anthony Thompson
420 BLAZE IT
WE LEGALIZED WEED MAN UR PATHETIC
hahahaha
usa = poorland and overzealous governance.
Michael Scott
Fucking leafs.
>inherent danger Is it the government's job to "protect" the people if it's a restriction of freedom (i.e. gun control)?
Landon Carter
People are still worried about diseases. Also, lawmakers are old and haven't realized that the internet killed pimping. Hong Kong is the best example of this...All girls must be independent workers under law, but by the time they made pimping illegal, it was almost nonexistent. Even in walk-up brothels, you just push a buzzer on the girl's door and have a look at her.
Josiah Fisher
Finally, a bill that would put native Hawaiians back to work
Noah Ross
Fuck, not again. Now i have another group to hate without ever meeting one.

>Feminists want to legalize abortion because, "Her body; her choice." >Feminists don't want to legalize prostitution. ?
Dominic Baker
Illegal prostitution puts women at risk just like illegal abortion is super dangerous. I don't see the contradiction.
Parker Harris
This would probably turn Hawaii into a sex tourism destination.
Anyway, the laws in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany seem to work well
Mason Lopez
pure degeneracy
it destroys the family and the family is the foundation of a healthy society. back door to liberal moral degeneracy

>Newman and White in Women, Politics and Public Policy argue that feminist perspectives on prostitution agree on three main points: “First, they condemn the current legal policy enforcing criminal sanctions against women who offer sex in exchange for money. Second, they agree that authentic consent is the sine qua non of legitimate sex, whether in commercial or non-commercial form. Third, all feminists recognize that commercial sex workers are subject to economic coercion and are often victims of violence, and that little is done to address these problems.”
Charles Cruz
But user, feminists do want to legalize prostitution.
Joshua Campbell
PROSTITUTION HAS NEGATIVE EXTERNALITIES. IT MAKES OTHER THINGS WORSE BY EXISTING. THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE DON'T LEGALIZE DRUGS EITHER.
TAKE AN ECONOMICS CLASS.
Benjamin Cox
Yeah, none I speak to. But most don't even know what prominent feminists talk about so...
Ayden James
>This would probably turn Hawaii into a sex tourism destination. And this is why it's being proposed They tried to legalized gay marriage earlier than other states for the same reason
William Smith
>This would probably turn Hawaii into a sex tourism destination.
You've not been to Waikiki/Honolulu eh?
Bentley Rogers
Third wave feminism is just entitlement and should not be acknowledged by anyone.
Wyatt Carter
I would care if I lived in or ever planned to pay the ridiculous money it takes to visit Hawaii.
They can be as degenerate as they want on their little pedo islands I don't give a shit.
Michael Perry
No I'd figure they are destinations for old Anglos and Germans
Levi Lee
I'm in favor of it
Might just save up some money to go on vacation
Easton Bailey
>in the course of investigations
No one should get to fuck prostitutes on the clock.
