#Backpage has found a rather interesting support group: the organizers of the Women's March. They claim that the shutdown interferes with a woman's right to engage in prostitution. A lot of people disagree.
“To the horror of many across the political spectrum, Women’s March is calling the shutdown of a site convicted of trafficking women and children for sex a “crisis” for sex workers.
“Writing on its Twitter page Saturday, Women’s March – a group that spearheaded protest marches around the world the day after President Trump’s January 2017 inauguration – said, “The shutting down of #Backpage is an absolute crisis for sex workers who rely on the site to safely get in touch with clients. Sex workers rights are women’s rights.'
“Christian recording artist Jennifer Michelle Greenberg, who is also an abuse survivor and advocate, did not hold back her disgust.
“According to Women’s March, ‘sex workers rights are women’s rights.’ It should be noted, #Backpage was shut down for human trafficking and child sex trafficking. The ‘sex workers’ these ‘feminists’ are defending are parasites in the bowels of America,” she said.
Look who’s outraged at closing sex-trafficking site
