Especially the cowards of the NDP and the Liberal party who refuse to take a stand on the substantive issue, namely, should a consensual uncoerced transaction between adults be a criminal offence.
I agree that they should take a stand. I also feel that Rabble and Babble itself should take a stand. From Babble policy:
babble is NOT intended as a place where the basic and fundamental values of human rights, feminism, anti-racism and labour rights are to be debated or refought. Anyone who joins babble who indicates intentions to challenge these rights and principles may be seen as disruptive to the nature of the forum.
So, anyone advocating anti-choice positions would be booted. I think it's time for Babble to also clearly say that sex workers' rights are not up for debate, and act upon that.
