National Post Editorializes for Legal Prostitution
Admiring German licentiousness, one of Canada's leading papers editorialized this week for the legalization of prostitution. The argument says that since people are going to buy sex, why not legalize it to protect the women? The National Post is lying when it says, "the best course of action is to bring this business under the ambit of the law".
The sexual revolution in the 1960's popularized sex free from any inhibitions. Without thought to original intent, consequences, or boundaries, sexual freedom was supported in high school curriculum, on televisions, movies, and dominated on the internet.
But, the sexual revolution was a lie! And our society is literally paying for the consequences financially, but also socially, intellectually, morally, and culturally. There has been an increase in teen sexuality, encouraged by all forms of media, resulting in an increase in teen pregnancy (leading to more high school drop-outs, more people on welfare, more government dependency, increased drug use, more domestic violence). There are 1.3 million abortions per year (that's how we cope with the unintended consequences of sexual freedom), not to mention guilt and sterility from abortion. Now we have a higher divorce rate (children with absent moms or dads), homosexuality, push for homosexual marriage, epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, destructive gangsta rap, and increased sexual violence. The sexual revolution propagated a lie: that nothing mattered except self-gratification and personal authenticity.
The radical experiment of sexual freedom has failed and it is depleting the resources of our society. The truth is that there are consequences to sex; the truth is that individuals, families, churches, and communities have a responsibility to protect their communities from drain of resources that accompanies the legalization of prostitution.
