Self-Ownership or Slavery? The Case for Decriminalizing Sex Work w/ Ariela Moscowitz

by | Aug 15, 2023

… it is peculiar that while liberals are in favor of any sexual activity engaged in by two consenting adults, when these consenting adults engage in trade or exchange, the liberals step in to harass, cripple, restrict, or prohibit that trade.
