New York Governor Kathy Hochul will make $1 million in public funds available to provide health care to sex workers over a span of two years. The money provides funding to two organizations for primary and sexual care, and even dental care, to potential prostitutes.

One of the benefiting organizations, Callen-Lorde, has described itself as one of the "global leaders in LGBTQ+ health care."

On its website, the organization endorses the decriminalization of prostitution: “Callen-Lorde firmly and without reservation supports the health, rights, and dignity of sex workers. We are opposed to laws that disproportionately regulate and criminalize bodily autonomy, sexuality and sexual and reproductive health and rights. We support the total decriminalization of sex work as an important step to protect and respect the human rights of all sex workers,” the website stated.

The organization also celebrated June 2023 legislation signed by Hochul to declare New York state a sanctuary for those who have illegally given children sex-change drugs, hormones, or surgeries.

So once again democrats have taken it upon themselves to make things that are illegal legitimate, like illegal immigration. It is a repetitive behavior of not liking a law and simply ignoring the law whether the law is against prostitution or gender reassignment for children or illegal immigration, etc.

Does this mean that New York will no longer have an issue with Trump paying the sex worker Stormy Daniels all that money to keep quiet about her sex acts?

I'm guessing not. Again, picking and choosing laws you hate and like, all based on political whims is what the democrat party is all about. Sure, you will go to jail for not paying taxes and lying on gun registration forms EXCEPT..............if your last name is Biden.

 

[Votto]

You would think New York would try to focus on giving all of it's citizens the same list of rights.

But that would take the fun of identity politics. How on earth could you divide and conquer the populace doing that?

Besides, equal treatment would be a death blow to the elitists in the democrat party cuz they would all wind up in jail.

More money laundering.....I'm sure those .orgs will make a healthy "donations" of NY tax-payer money into dem coffers.

Well, no, Trump isn't being charged with hiring a prostitute, he's being charged with fraudulently hiding hush-money payments.

But frankly, this is a good thing. Laws against prostitution are idiotic.

If I pick up a woman in a bar, and we have sex and never call each other again, that's not a crime.
But the same scenario, but I pay her $300.00, that's a crime? Tell me what universe that makes sense in?

Stupid laws should be ignored.

Well, that is a relief. So, the state is not worried about people paying for sex, rather, they are just worried about people hiding their money.

If so, why are they not worried about the millions Hunter and Joe hid from taxation?

Perhaps Hunter and Joe think they were just ignoring stupid laws as well.

Who should be in charge of determining which laws are stupid and not?

I know, let's give you the job!

I have to say, I thought the governor mailing these cards out on birthdays was a bit over the top.

 

[JoeB131]

Well, that is a relief. So, the state is not worried about people paying for sex, rather, they are just worried about people hiding their money.

Uh, no, they are worried that a law that doesn't work actually makes matters worse for sex workers. It's no surprise, for instance, that sex workers are more likely to be victims of serial killers and other abuse, because they are marginalized.

If so, why are they not worried about the millions Hunter and Joe hid from taxation?

Well, they are, which is why Hunter is paying them back along with a penalty.
Seriously, guys, if all you have going into 2024 is Hunter's dick-pics, you really don't have much of a platform to run on.

 

[1srelluc]

Well a whore's vote counts the same as anyone else's. Nothing new under the sun in NY.

SEW-EET. When with Kathy be releasing the fee schedule for NY hookers? I'm looking for something about 29 years old, red head, nice figure, and athletic.

No, sex workers are more likely to be victims of serial killers and other abuses because it is a high-risk behavior occupation.

No parent watches their child grow up thinking, "I hope they become a prostitute in a society that does not marginalize them so they will be happy."

In societies where prostitution is legal human trafficking actually goes up.

Does Legalized Prostitution Increase Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking leaves no land untouched. In 2013 the U.S. State Department estimated that there are 27 million victims worldwide trafficked for forced labor or commercial sex exploitation. A 201…

• Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited. The scale effect of legalizing prostitution, i.e. expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex workers are favored over illegal workers. On average, countries with legalized prostitution report a greater incidence of human trafficking inflows.
• The effect of legal prostitution on human trafficking inflows is stronger in high-income countries than middle-income countries. Because trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation requires that clients in a potential destination country have sufficient purchasing power, domestic supply acts as a constraint.
• Criminalization of prostitution in Sweden resulted in the shrinking of the prostitution market and the decline of human trafficking inflows. Cross-country comparisons of Sweden with Denmark (where prostitution is decriminalized) and Germany (expanded legalization of prostitution) are consistent with the quantitative analysis, showing that trafficking inflows decreased with criminalization and increased with legalization.
• The type of legalization of prostitution does not matter — it only matters whether prostitution is legal or not. Whether third-party involvement (persons who facilitate the prostitution businesses, i.e, “pimps”) is allowed or not does not have an effect on human trafficking inflows into a country. Legalization of prostitution itself is more important in explaining human trafficking than the type of legalization.
• Democracies have a higher probability of increased human-trafficking inflows than non-democratic countries. There is a 13.4% higher probability of receiving higher inflows in a democratic country than otherwise.

Idiot.

No, sex workers are more likely to be victims of serial killers and other abuses because it is a high-risk behavior occupation.

It's only high risk because it's on the margins. You work out of a safe brothel, you aren't going to be a victim. You work on the street, um, yes, you are going to end up in the crawlspace in someone's house.

No parent watches their child grow up thinking, "I hope they become a prostitute in a society that does not marginalize them so they will be happy."

No, but quite frankly, some people have the psychological profile where that's where they end up.

In societies where prostitution is legal human trafficking actually goes up.

Whenever I hear a term like "Human Trafficking", I kind of have to roll my eyes. It's one of those terms to scare stupid white people.

Yes, when prostitution is legalized, you will see people from poor countries move to richer countries. um, that's where the money is.

So you legalize it, you regulate it and you tax it. Once a month, licensed sex workers have to go in for an exam to make sure they don't have any diseases, and to make sure they aren't being abused by their employers. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

Hey, big surprise, Votto left this part of his link out.

“The likely negative consequences of legalised prostitution on a country’s inflows of human trafficking might be seen to support those who argue in favour of banning prostitution, thereby reducing the flows of trafficking,” the researchers state. “However, such a line of argumentation overlooks potential benefits that the legalisation of prostitution might have on those employed in the industry. Working conditions could be substantially improved for prostitutes — at least those legally employed — if prostitution is legalised. Prohibiting prostitution also raises tricky ‘freedom of choice’ issues concerning both the potential suppliers and clients of prostitution services.”

Here's the thing. I live in a state where Prostitution is "Illegal". Yet we have plenty of Massage Parlors, Strip Joints, Adult Book Stores, and Escort Services where if you were really keen on having sex for money, you could do so.

He thinks that someone already did.

 

[Polishprince]

What's the idea here? To put a special tax on the flesh trade , just like the libs did with grass?

I guess they'll need an army of new regulators to make sure all of hoes and pimps near the bus stations have their licenses up to date. Can't let a pimp on the street unless he's passed the State Pimping Board test.

 

[Polishprince]

If Hoein' and Pimpin' become legal, there will be a lot more enforcement you know. Libs like to regulate and tax, and requires tax collectors and regulators

No reason at all for prostitution to be illegal, especially when porn is not. You can get paid to have sex as long as someone is filming it, but not if you are alone. How fucking stupid can our laws be?

A billion dollar business for which the state gets no tax revenue from.
