Proposition K requires authorities to enforce existing laws that prohibit coercion, extortion, sexual assault, underage workers and other crimes regardless of whether or not the victim is a sex worker. So this is not a valid augment. The opponents are saying that all prostitutes are forced to do it against their will. Yet they can never find many victims of this. Where are all these victims? Why aren’t they coming out and talking and showing themselves? It is very difficult to force anyone to do something against their will. They would need to kidnap women, hide them away, have 24 hour guards, have them watched over like being in prison, with no chance to escape, force them to have sex, all under the radar of police and the general public. Do you think just anyone can do this? Do you think this is so easy that it happens all the time? Try getting someone to do something they don’t want to do and see how successful you are - you won’t be. Since this is a victimless crime, the opponents need to invent a victim in order to get support. They could have chosen the johns, the sex workers or the city itself. They chose the sex workers to be the victims even though it’s the sex workers who want to decriminalize because they realize it’s the police, justice system and the government that hurts them, not the johns or pimps. Why is it that the ONLY people who are working for this to pass are the prostitutes themselves? Why would the victims themselves want this to pass? Maybe it is because they are victims of the police, justice system, and government who abuse them and their customers. These are the real abusers.
