Kamala Harris is running for President. She has taken a number of stands on the issues, but some of these stands are in conflict with previous stands and actions. I guess things change when you run for President.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article about one area where Kamala Harris has changed her views.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n P<\/span>residential wannabee and Sen. Kamala Harris, who spent decades as a district attorney and California attorney general destroying the lives of sex workers, has officially come out in support of decriminalizing sex work.<\/strong><\/p>\n In an interview with The Root, which includes<\/a> a haphazard endorsement of reparations, Harris confirmed that “when we’re talking about consenting adults,” she endorses decriminalizing sex work.<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s called the world’s oldest profession for a reason, and the overwhelming<\/a> empirical evidence<\/a> continues to demonstrate that in the absence of a legal and regulated arena for prostitution, an exploitative black market emerges. Decriminalizing, taxing, and regulating sex work seems like an obvious compromise that both the Left and libertarian-leaning conservatives would agree upon. But if you spend longer than half a second delving through Harris’ checkered past, you’d realize that she’s not a part of that coalition, and she never has been.<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2008 as San Francisco district attorney, Harris excoriated Prop K, a ballot measure which would have ceased the enforcement of anti-prostitution laws and defunded the city’s anti-prostitution programs.<\/strong><\/p>\n I honestly do not know enough about this issue to take a stand on it. However, I suspect that as a District Attorney, Kamala Harris saw the issue up close and made a decision based on what she saw. My question is, “Why would she change that decision?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kamala Harris is running for President.
