During this election.... where issues were not addressed (just what people thought of Trump's personality).... the radical positions of Biden (and more so, Harris) never came out. But it will....

I suggest that the self confessed pastor in the video concentrate on reporting on his communities behavior instead of the words of a politicians subtleties during an interview.
Its true that Harris panders with a form of deceitful cryptics.
Yet what the man in the video failed to address is that the sex trade industries influx and adaptation amongst counties and states that bar such activities as illegal have increased while people turn away and are in denial.
Both law enforcement and civil leaders both, ignore many operations such as so called massage parlors for obvious reasons.

They pay property taxes

Drive thru a shopping area and you'll see their darkly tinted windows and a doorbell locked entrance with cameras scrutinizing the possible customer.

I watched the video of a self purported pastor and found underlining snares.

He has ignored the facet of prostitution that creeps in and is given a business license by corrupt officials.

The pimps are local government officials elected by the electoral prostitutes.

I think this is one of those things where we can accept someone else doing something even if we don't agree with the morality of it. It's perfectly consistent to believe we should be allowed to sell access to our bodies even while believing we should not actually do it. It's legal to commit adultery but you'd struggle to find very many Christians in favor of adultery.

Legislating what happens between consenting adults in private is a fool's game.

Her previous statements had expressed concern that women, who often feel they have no choice, were prosecuted, and not pimps, who make money off it, and customers. I’m not sure I support decriminalization, but that seems like a reasonable complaint.

Her liberal rationale (if liberals need such) is that prostitution "hurts no one." No one... no person... no woman.... no man.... no marriage.... has been hurt by prostitution and pimps. Morality seems to be NOWHERE on her agenda, NOWHERE in her consideration. It's that "it doesn't hurt anything." It's not even a rationale that "hey, we can't stop this so why declare a morality, why indicate we give a rip - just allow it." Nope. It's "it hurts no one." We saw that same Liberal thinking in Oregon this year in legalizing Heroin and Cocaine "doesn't hurt anyone."

Perhaps Ms. Harris should spend more time in the real world and less at Cal-Berkley?

BTW, Ms. Harris grew up Southern Baptist, even sang in the children's choir. I wonder what her Baptist minister from back then thinks of her pro-prostitution stance (as well as her pro-abortion position).

If they actually wanted to help women they wouldn't contribute to lowering them in that manner but raise them up by helping them find jobs, helping them get out of drug habits if that's what forces them to go to selling themselves, putting them in women's shelter with their children if that's what is needed. Legal prostitution continues to keep women under the control of others. :(

The trouble with morality in cases like this is that everything constantly comes back to the question of who gets to impose their moral codes on everyone else. If it's legal for me to meet a pretty girl in a bar and take her home, why should the law care if what attracted her was my witty one-liners or the $50 in my wallet?

If we decide that prostitution is really bad and so should be illegal, what about adultery? What about the hookup culture all over university campuses? What happens if Jews or Muslims decide that eating pork offends them to the extent it should be outlawed?

A personal conviction that something is wrong is a good reason to not do it. It isn't a good reason to prohibit someone else from doing it.

Prostitution hurts plenty of people however none of them matter to Ms. Harris hence why she doesn't care that it be made legal. If you really cared about those women falling into that life then you would seek to make it possible for such women to find a career and the education needed to hold it. There is nothing empowering by letting women sell their bodies for money. It degrades both the women who go into that line of work and it also degrades the men who pay for it. Making it illegal doesn't stop people from doing it however that doesn't mean the government should get out of the way and allow and facilitate the flourishing of willful sin. Attempting to make peace with darkness only leads to destruction as history has shown time and time again.

If your morals are backed by scripture then what you are doing is standing up for God and his Word by having man's laws moved into alignment with God's law. The alternative leads you into giving up inch after inch to appease darkness which leads you to ultimately giving up everything and then finally they come after you because it's no longer enough to simply condone the darkness and not impede those who enjoy living in it but now you must also live in it with everyone else or you will be made to pay one way or another.

You make it sound as if most women want to be in that business? Do you realize that sex trafficking is the biggest slave industry in the United States? It should not be legalized. Underaged girls are definitely being used and this needs to be brought to the attention of people who have glorified the trade as if it were romantic some how. It's not romantic. It's not love. It's mostly manipulative rape.

Sure, I understand some people are in the business under duress. We could say the same about all sorts of work. It's only rape if one party isn't engaging in the transaction voluntarily. As I said before, if it's legal to wow a girl with witty one-liners and take her home, why should it be illegal to wow her with a $50 and take her home? The issue of forced prostitution is different, even if related.

One advantage of prostitution being legal is that women engaged in the sex trade get at least some legal protection. What does an illegal prostitute do if a client refuses to pay? It's not as if she can go to the police and admit she was engaged in an illegal activity. If brothels are illegal the working girls end up on street corners, exposed to more dangers than they might face in a registered and inspected brothel.

It's already illegal to engage in sexual activities with children under a certain age (which I gather varies by state). At least for the more reputable clients of the sex trade they can be reasonably sure that the girl whose services they are enjoying is old enough to legally consent. I'm not sure anyone thinks that exchanging cash for sex is romantic, it seems to me it's the kind of thing you might do if you're away from home for a couple of evenings or if you can't find romance. But then I don't know that I'd find much romance in hooking up with someone in a bar either although nobody is proposing that be prohibited.

I really can't condone the legalization of something that is so brutal and exploits people.
