Court Challenge TO NI Anti Sex Worker Madness Imminent!

[randyconnor]

What are the chances here, does it look good, Do wish you well laura,

Pretty good i'd imagine. The law in NI soon to be replicated here in RoI refuses to distinguish between consenting and trafficked and compromises safety of those who voluntarily sell sex by driving it underground. If sex workers are to be basically treated no better/worse than ordinary citizens ,then the state cannot penalise them for selling sex no more than screwing for free via forcing SWs to work alone,no security , avoid police stakeouts etc.
Especially when it is already a criminal offence to coerce,threaten etc a person into prostitution.

NI High Courts recent track record re Ashers Bakery and abortion rights shows that the innate conservatism that underpins NI politics is not an issue for their judiciary. Hopefully,Fors remanis NI Justice Minister for a long time as he would only too happy to repeal the law.

Yes indeed, the wonderful, brave and intelligent Laura Lee should be successful against this moronic, simplistic, quick fix solution,
can you imagine the absurdity of being able to sell sex legally and if you but it, it is illegal. What the supporters of this law will
not tell you though is that many large, internationally recognized organisations such as the "World Health Organisation" and
"Amnesty International" support the complete decriminalisation of prostitution.
Not the so called "women s groups", who couldn't give a crap about women, or indeed men.

They will tell you how wonderful the "Swedish Model" is, where this law originated, and how wonderful the Swedes are, everyone
knows the law was introduced on totally bias research where, laughably, not one sex worker was ever interviewed.

And don't get me started about the Swedes, they have one of the highest rates of domestic violence in Europe, 14 nuclear power
stations and as about as much humor as my mother in law, and she is dead.

We have laws on trafficking and no one agrees with this, An Garda Siochana have more things to be doing, I am sure than
knocking on bedroom doors to see if consensual adults are paying for sex or not, how silly can these laws get.
Why don't we ban chewing gum next, then cigarettes, then gambling, then cigars, then alcohol, short skirts, who knows,
maybe even fat people.
This law is the biggest affront to human rights since the Nazis, it is cruel, indiscriminate, can you imagine a persons life
being ruined by criminalisation simply because they craved human contact, wanted love and companionship.
It is unconstitutional, and unenforceable and the proposers of this law are in my opinion, cruel and inhumane.

Sorry I am ranting now, but I think you get my drift. Well done Laura Lee......

Sweden fancies itself as the world superpower in human rights, their history - abuse of Sammi, assisting Nazis and sterilization of mentally ill and intellectually disabled people which continued upto the 1970s, indicates strongly otherwise!
I see they are firmly closing their borders to refugees now after being gung ho in accepting them all up until reality hit! BTW I strongly favour taking a certain amount of genuine refugees, but fuckwit libertardism is on a different level entirely, indeed they are anything but liberals!
