Through working with non-profit agencies, I have heard enough first-hand to know that prostitution is a survival choice, and never a “career” choice except for the most emotionally/psychologically/chemically damaged individuals. If we are to become the species it seems we want to be, then we must take issues on like this with none of the ‘blame the victim’ philosophy that is inherent to the legal and (too often) the medical approach.
