We completely agree about the purpose of government.
The government exists to provide education and support for people to escape toxic situations, NOT more LAWS backed by the threat of violence, with over reaching questionable authority to force people to do what a subset of people believe is morally right, based on sensationalized media reporting, whether that's prostitution, drug use, abortion, gun laws, mask usage...etc.
Unless there's unquestionable hard science to make a law over, with data effecting the majority of the population, the federal government should not be involved in a legislative capacity.
There's already an uncountable number of federal laws(you can google it).
We need to err on the side of freedom not safety and morality.
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoProstitution makes all those involved highly likely to contract STDs and that's a public health issue. It's also unquestionable hard science that the more sexual encounters you have the higher your risk of contracting an STD and spreading it to others is no matter how safe you are. Are you willing to pay for law enforcement to make sure prostitutes and johns get STD tests before and between each encounter (and make sure they don't have any other sexual encounters after their tests)? I'd wager most people try to skirt such enforcement and it becomes expensive and leads to increases in STDs amongst the public.
