| Message | We are conflicted with regards to our stance on this bill. On the one hand, the current state of prostitution is such that it is exploitative towards women, a baffling practice given women's inherent superiority. On the other hand, women should have the option to pay men for certain services (though there is a strong faction within the party that debate this opinion, believing that men should not have the right to deny women sexual services). We will be closely following the debate on this issue and encouraging internal discussion to reach a consensus. |

| Message | It was for that reason that we did not gender the terms of prostitution. Prostitutes and their clients can be any gender and should not be judged for these business transactions that happen in the privacy of peoples homes. We hope that this bill helps to break down the idea that prostitution is a woman only profession and any exploitation that it may entail. |

| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
