Proposition K defated!

Although this is a little late, a while ago I posted about proposition K in California that was trying to legalize prostitution. I am happy to report that it has been defeated and law enforcement still has the right to investigate and prosecute those who exploit women through prostitution (please keep in mine the average age of entry into prostitution is 11-13 years old). Here is an exert that lays out how the votes were cast:

"A strong coalition of community leaders, the district attorney, mayor, activists, survivors, and LOTS OF VOTERS together rejected decriminalization of pimps in San Francisco. With 98% of all San Francisco precincts reporting, 57.54 of all voters said NO to K. A simple majority wins.

MEASURE K
571 out of 580 precincts (98.45 %)

Votes Percent
Yes 88,448 42.46 %
No 119,868 57.54 %"

It is slightly disconcerting that 42.46% of people voted to pass this legislation. This goes to show that there needs to be more awareness as to the harm that prostitution brings to women, children and the community.
