I Ottawa Ontario Canada three sex worker's took the law to the Supreme court
It's not possible to do it that way? I was just curious. I think that the law infringes on our civil liberties.

I went there this morning as they index and have search capability second to none. Navigating to the root of the domain, there is an ominous FBI / IRS warning of seizure. You may not want to go there lest your address is logged in this 1984 police state. This article screenshots their new homepage.

HH.
Another interesting topic. I want some input from you guys
An escort friend of mine. Practically the only one I've met that seems to be emotionally stable LOL. Anyway she called me yesterday. This is her question and dilemma. She has a client who she likes and he likes her as well. She is considering dating him! What do all of you think about this. Do you think it can work? Also have any of you dated an escort, where you met them as a client? What are your experiences?
What the three escorts did was take their argument for legalization
To the Canadian supreme court using the constitution I suppose. It's our right to use our bodies as we see fit, I'm pretty sure which is supported by the constitution. Is the government allowed to take ownership of our bodies? If a woman can have an abortion she should be able to sell her body as well, right? Isn't it the same thing? Also there is no victim. Prostitution is a victimless crime if it's between consenting adults. How could the supreme court argue. Don't they have to back up the criminalizing of prostitution with the constitution as a guide? What argument could they use? Obviously there's a difference between human trafficking and sex between consenting adults. After all it's not illegal to be a **** right? What's the difference when there's money involved? What argument could they use to keep sex work criminalized? I'd like your thoughts and opinions please. Isn't this what gay people did to gain the right to be able to marry and to be treated equally and fairly? Isn't it the same thing? It's a lame law and it doesn't make one bit of sense.
The right to own our bodies
WHAT ABOUT THE PRIVACY OF MY BODY?
What you do or don't do with your body is your personal business. If you need to have a pregnancy test, or if you're pregnant, you should go to the family planning clinic nearest you. Your local ACLU can help you find one. Some schools provide birth control supplies; find out if yours does. If you go to the doctor, find out what the doctor's policy is on telling your parents.
It's your constitutional right to have an abortion. You don't even have to tell your boyfriend about it if you don't want to. However, some states require women under the age of 18 to get their parents' permission, or at least tell them about the abortion. But if you can't tell your parents, you have a right to go to court and ask the judge to drop the parental notification requirement in your particular case.
Reproductive rights is a very serious issue, and groups like the ACLU are working hard to make sure no woman or girl loses her rights to a safe and legal abortion if she decides to have one.
The government owns our bodies if someone is in the military
I understand that. And I'd understand if it were illegal to be a ****, then there's no case for the legalization of prostitution. But it's not illegal to sleep around, right? Money changing hands for service rendered isn't illegal either. What argument can anyone use that would support criminalizing sex work?
Read this and tell me what you think?
