How on earth do you unionize prostitution? What a joke. Who are you going to negotiate with, pimps? Johns? Strip club owners? Traffickers? It's a ridiculous idea. The people pushing the union idea are actually escort agency owners, in other words, they are pimps. I'm sure they will always have the best interest of the prostitute at heart. NOT. They are in it to make the most money possible which means they try to convince women not to leave. They promise that things will get better...that they will start making more money per blow job real soon now...that just a little meth won't hurt you and will make you lose weight...that you are now worthless for any other job so you have to stay. Pimps suck. And I have to say

I'm surprised you treat the prostitution issue like it's some kind of fair debate. Reminds me of the slavery debates. Yeah, at one time in this country you could get people into a room and debate whether slaves really want to be free. Heck, maybe slavery was the best thing for them because they were poor and uneducated and didn't know what else to do. Slaveowners and pimps are birds of a feather.

Please wait...
