will the new "law"

[hadaway]

"Moral disapproval should never be the basis for State legislation" -- so said Sandra Day O'Connor in so many

words some time ago , -- which I repeated in the Committee Meeting some three years ago .



Even the blind can see : this new law proposal has absolutely nothing to do with saving / helping the

disadvantaged , the 'victims' ! It has no aim to punish traffickers : ye all already have laws against that !

All it'd need is Enforcing The Law that is already on the books !


This new bit is based on Moral Disapproval of prostitution as a whole , and until the whole of society is better

informed on the subject , better educated and cultured in general (not talking down on anyone , we have

same prob in US -- look at Trump Rising ) , demagogues and bigots will rule the day and unfortunately ,

set the Law of the Land x

law has nothing to do with right or wrong, its to be popular and to be seen as tackling something that not really a major problem, its all messed up but Ireland always was

Be in by april,I know it's a crappy question,but anybody any rough estimate.

The second reading is scheduled for Thursday. Hopefully Dail disolved by then.

If TDs etc come knocking on your door ask them why the crimilisation of the person who pays for sex was lumped together with the sexual explitation of children including child porn & the trafficating of people for sex. The Minister delayed the urgent part of the legislation(I.e. the children part) by lumping them all together.

We all need to challenge this and other nanny state legislation with the election candidates as they knock on our doors over the next few weeks . Perhaps a threat to never vote FG or Lab again over this interference in an adults sex life will wake these lowlifes up. Without our vote they are nothing. Now is our last chance , so Balls Up lads and don't be shy on the door step (unless the Mrs is with you) . But even the ladies in our lives should be concerned by this legislation, it prevents them ever entering the profession as their potential customers are criminalised.
