Thread Name: BS: Ontario Prostitution Law
Subject: BS: Ontario Prostitution Law
The laws of Ontario have taken a step out of the dark ages today! Prostitution is in itself not illegal in Canada but just about everything connected to it is. The top Ontario court deserves praise for today's wise decision! It will enable many to operate from the safety of their home but will still subject the pimps to prosecution. It is too bad that many people have been forced by archaic laws into the hands and under the control of pimps in the past. It will also allow some of the most disenfranchised to be treated under the law with equality and some degree of increased safety. In no way do I recomend this as a way of life for anyone but its existance should at least be treated with some degree of humanity! Now the ball is in the court of the Ontario government to decide if they appeal to the country's supreme court.
