In other news, California voters yesterday also voted on Prop K. If passed, Prop K will stop police enforcement of laws against prostitution and put an end on anti-prostitution programs.. Prostitution is already marginally legally in other parts of America, for instance in Rhode Island it is legal as long as done indoors and in Nevada though only in counties of less than 400, 000 residents. Prostitution was bound to become mainstream and culturally accepted, it's already happened to porn. Porn stars are celebrities today. Years ago, some racy photos of Vanessa Williams cost her her Miss America crown and now Paris Hilton's sex tape does nothing to hurt her career in fact it helped her status.
I'm undecided on Prop K. I'm morally opposed to prostitution. However, Prop K will definitely be a leap towards minimizing all of the risks involved with working as a hooker. It's time these men and women at least have some sort of safety.
Unfortunately, it failed. Maybe they'll try again in 2010 with Prop 8.
