Bill: Moral Movement Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Royal Conservative Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 2107
Description[?]:
| Prostitution encourages the abuse of women and it allows for the reduction of their status to mere sex objects. Women working in this industry are open to physical and mental violence. For the state to openly permit the degradation of women in such a way is patently wrong and we therefore move for prostitution to be illegal. Prostitutes will not, however, receive prison sentences but instead will enter rehabilitation. Those found to be 'pimpin' prostitutes will face prison sentences. It is not decent that citizens of any walk of life should have to suffer the sight of public nudity. This could also have a harmful effect on children. We therefore move for it to banned outright in all public places. |

| Message | Ahh, the old rallying cry of the conservatives: "Think of the children!". Opposed. Criminalizing prostitution aids in the abuse of women, putting them at the mercy of pimps and abusive clients. |

| Message | And legalising it stops this how? It just shows that the government is actually giving the green light to such abuse. |
| Date | 16:35:20, September 05, 2005 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Moral Movement Bill |
| Message | Legalizing and regulate ensures that basic health and safety standards are met, no one can live off another's prostitution, and abuse, and not trying to make a living is criminalized. |

| Message | What is wrong with sex CUP? You can sell money to people (banking) but you can not sell sex. Why not? You can charge people for burying their dead but not for enjoying life. Then we come to the human body. It is acceptable to see dogs copulating in the street, but not to see a naked human. Why? As you may have guessed from this we oppose this attempt to impose your misguided moral values. Perhaps you should concern yourselves more with the ethics of transparency in politics and business, than with the coverings of sun bathers. |

| Message | It's not at all surprising that ASP should equate banking with sex. We have long considered bankers to be the whores of capitalism. |
