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.

Father in heaven, this is why it is so important for Christians to pay attention to how politicians vote. It exposes who they fear and worship. I pray that Kamala will place her trust in You, Jesus, and fear God who has the power to destroy the body and the soul. I pray for an awakening among our leaders that can only come from the power of the Holy Spirit. Forgive them, Lord. They are blinded by the enemy and are carrying out his plan to destroy your creation, humans that You created in Your likeness, and that you know individually. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen

I am not surprised at senator Kamala Harris. Her behavior on and off camera has been disgraceful. I watched her praising smoking pot, now she is supporting prostate;ution. Is this the kind of person we want as a leader of our country? Dear God, help us. Lord I love this country and I want it to prosper. Lord there are so many good people working to make America a christian country . Please give them strength and ability to march forward and preach your love. Protect them Lord, from satan’s evil ways, and give them the grace to move forward in your glory. Lord, give Kamala the wisdom and fortitude she needs to recognize the evil of her ways and the strength to change her behavior.

Dear Lord I pray for Kamala Harris(D-Calf)to have a heart charge that only you can bring. She needs her eyes opened to see that human sex-traffic is not only a social trouble but also a sin against You. Give her a caring heart toward the victims of this heinous practice of women and children sold into sex slavery. Open her mind to be part of the solution and not just another blind eye. In Jesus name I pray.
