When Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) came out on Tuesday in favor of decriminalizing prostitution, she failed to mention that she had opposed it her entire career.

Harris most publicly opposed the idea of decriminalizing the oldest profession in 2008, when she called a proposal to do so in San Francisco “completely ridiculous” and argued it “would put a welcome mat out for pimps and prostitutes.” She rejected the notion that prostitution was a “victimless crime,” the New York Times reported, and said it “compromises the quality of life in a community.”

But in her Tuesday interview with The Root, she said she supports decriminalizing prostitution and explicitly said it was because it is often victimless.

“When you’re talking about consensual adults, I think that, yes, we should really consider that we can’t criminalize consensual behavior as long as no one is being harmed,” Harris said.

The reversal from Harris, like her complete reversal on marijuana legalization, came after criticism from activists.

A month ago, just after she announced her campaign, it was reported that sex workers were rejecting Harris. She lost their trust last year when she backed legislation designed to fight online sex trafficking, but that sex workers said would “literally kill them.” They said they used the outlawed websites to find customers, allowing them to move off the streets and away from pimps. The bill passed, was praised by Harris, and signed by President Trump. (Excerpted from The Free Beacon.)

Sex trafficking is a very real problem across the globe and many ministries are helping rescue women and men from this kind of slavery. Check out International Justice Mission, A21, or Shared Hope International.
