| Message | It is legal for two consenting adults to have sex. It is legal for one person to give money to another person. Why should these two things happening at the same time suddenly be illegal? That is rather inconsistent. |

| Message | Support. |

| Message | Opposed. This is nothing more than recognizing the degradation of women. We do not tolerate that. |

| Message | For one, there is nothing in this act about women. Men can prostitute themselves too. And even if there was, how is it degradation if women are choosing to do it? They choose to make a profit out of performing a service. That is the free market there. |

| Message | 1) You are a complete fool if you believe there is nothing in this act about women. |

| Message | Well this act does concern women, insofar as it concerns the rights of all people, and women are in fact a subset of all people. |
