Good citations, thanks. I totally agree that child prostitution should not be tolerated and we should aggressively go after those who are responsible.
Do you have any statistics on child prostitution in Nevada compared to the other 49 states??
That was until I saw a documentary of a Mom who nearly bankrupted herself trying to locate her child and get her back. The girl was 14 and had been abducted off the streets, forcibly gang raped by over 30 men, drugged up, and pushed into prostitution. The mom finally tracked her daughter down, but the police were of little help. She didn't get her daughter back until the daughter was arrested; the Mom was able to petition for her through the courts. Thankfully, the Judge was a decent person who saw the girl as a victim and let her go home instead of to jail.
Once the program was over, I went into my daughter's room and stared at my beautiful angel sleeping so peacefully, our family dog snuggled protectively next to her. What separated that desperate mother from me?
Good fortune. That was it.
When nearly 55% of prostitutes are young children forced into it through desperation and or abduction, that's slavery. And feminists who proclaim that it's liberating are disgusting, uninformed monsters who need their heads examined.
Anyone who consumes meat is complicit in animal torture and abuse, even if the meat that's being consumed is from a legit source.
Anyone who consumes clothing is complicit in sweatshop labor practices and employee abuse, even if the clothing that's being consumed is from a legit source.
Anyone who consumes wood is complicit in deforestation and rape of the land, even if the wood that's being consumed is from a legit source.
Shall I go on ?
You're painting with an illegitimately wide brush.
FYI, I was summarizing that person’s argument, that’s not my argument.
