NYT cited Soros funded UN report calling for legalized prostitution! (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Tanngrisnir

Late last year the NYT ran an article arguing that prostitution should be legalized. It linked to a UN report which argued that legalizing prostitution would decrease HIV transmissions. It just so happens that this report was funded by The Open Society Foundation owned by George Soros. I had discovered the connection between Soros and the report before but this is the first that I am aware of that anyone had found the link between Soros and the NYT article.

I'm no expert on this issue, and I don't have a position on it morally, but it seems to me that legalizing prostitution would be safer for the prostitutes, if the transactions are not illegal, then prostitutes can use the police if they are in danger, there can be arrests for threats/assault, and the courts can be used for nonpayment issues. Basically pimps are made extraneous, and vulnerable people are less likely to be groomed or trafficked.

I don't have a stance either but I read something about having the criminal aspect to it allowed for the police to remove the girls, get them away from the pimps, and offer help and actually being able to get many of them out of the pimps control. It seemed to be used as a tool and not a weapon. Now if the police see it (assuming it's a decent cop), they can't do anything.
