Berkeley, CA - The opening paragraph of the WND article is:
"A Berkeley, Calif., High School teacher is defending her moonlighting career as a prostitute, comparing herself to Martin Luther King Jr. in her fight to decriminalize the vocation."This sort of thing has been tried before, but I don't think I've ever heard Martin Luther King, Jr. sited as a defense. I'd laugh if current trends in the hallowed (or is that hollowed?) halls of our court system weren't so screwy. This woman was arrested for trying to get a police officer to give her $250 an hour for sex. Now she is on a campaign to get prostitution laws erased from the law books. She is quoted as saying,
"As a feminist I believe in every woman's right to self-determination, and that includes sexually and economically."Sounds grand. But what if that woman wants to sell crack cocain? Where does the "self-determination" stop?
Sadly, 20 people supporting this woman showed up and had a "rally" in front of the Alameda County Superior Court building. Just how 20 people qualify for a "rally," I don't know. But one of the women was arrested for removing her shirt in an effort, I guess, to get attention and thumb her nose at current public nudity laws. The teacher/prostitute also said,
"I feel that prostitution laws are dinosaurs. That they're similar to sodomy laws, and they will eventually be repealed."But there in is the rub. Feelings. If it feels good do it. If it feels right, it must be right. It's all about the self and what the "I" wants. There is no governing agent or morality or truth outside myself. At least that is what the teacher/prostitute would have us learn. God Forbid!
"Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." (Romans 6:11-14 AV)
