Comments on: How to get the law changed http://www.4-14.org.uk/how-to-get-the-law-changed …Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves… Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:51:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Nick K http://www.4-14.org.uk/how-to-get-the-law-changed#comment-1104 Nick K Tue, 01 Aug 2006 17:44:37 +0000 http://www.4-14.org.uk/index.php/archives/50-how-to-get-the-law-changed#comment-1104 And just what is wrong with the legalising of brothels? Prostitiutes, if their profession becomes legal, will be entitled to workers rights, health and safety standards, etc etc, and will generally be better protected by our police and legal system. Why do you want to deny fellow human beings the same protection and rights as the rest of us? They may be sinners in your eyes, but you have to admit that if it wasn't for prostitution, cases of rape would be much, much higher. And rape, in my un-humble opinion, is a FAR greater sin than prostitution. You need to appreciate that, whatever the law, there will ALWAYS be brothels - making them illegal just drives them underground and makes them less safe for the women working there. The choice to turn to Jesus isn't made by all of us, and whilst I have the highest respect for almost all forms of religious commitment, I do not condemn those who have not made that choice and live in what you call "sin". Gamblers, drink & drug users, prostitues, need to be free to do those things - if they did not, there would be nothing to turn to Jesus FROM. The CHOICE to turn to Jesus is one of the most important aspects of christianity - and the harder the choice & the harder the struggle to remain living by Jesus' teaching, the holier and more rewarding those choice become.
