Are you referring to just that article? If not, your statement isn't entirely true.

This is a law that we should all get behind. Anyone under the age of 18 that has been convicted of prostitution is really a victim of sex trafficking and should have these charges removed from their records.

Children forced into the sex trafficking trade could soon have a way to "wipe the slate clean." House Bill 4146, co-sponsored by Jason Conger, provides for juveniles who have been convicted of prostitution or other sex trafficking crimes to have their records expunged when they turn 18. "Once they are adults and they are out of the sex trade, they can start over. They can get rid of that record in their history. Obviously they can't get rid of the mental anguish and the other issues that come with that. But at least their criminal record will be clean. And then when they try to start over and get a job as an adult, they don't have a criminal record hanging over them." Conger says most Oregonians don't realize how big, and what a problem sex trafficking is. The bill passed the House today and now goes on to the Senate.

We don't need a new law. We need to repeal laws against prostitution.

Yea, because that will happen.

[StanUpshaw]

Yea, because that will happen.

What's your point?

[Furtherman]

Prostitution laws won't be repelled. There are lawmakers who don't even want people having sex. Therefore, we need this law to protect kids while backwards adults still have law making capabilities.

They're are lawmakers who don't even want people having sex.

Wha?!?!?!?! :wacko:

Exactly.

We had a federally funded charter on abstinence as the best birth control policy.


Well, yea, it is, but let's be adults here, can we?
