| Message | The SLP feels that forbidding a person (male or female) from demanding payment for sexual gratification is essentially outlawing a profession and banning a service. In our view, professions should not be banned unless there is an overwhelmingly convincing argument for doing so. |

| Message | The Social Democratic Party believes there is an overwhelmingly convincing argument for outlawing prostitution and that is that the vast majority of women who are prostitutes are economically and socially very disadvantaged and are effectively forced into prostitution out of economic necessity rather than choice. |

| Message | There are countless activities that are carried out through economic necessity and that do not warrant a ban. We fell prostitution is one of them. |
