Ya it surprises me that dictatorial countries have better morals these days than those based on democratic principles. Whether or not this is a sign of the last days I think it's telling God that our respective democratic nations have run their course.
Your right to assume that we are in the last days as Romans teaches that when a people, nation etc. get to the point where they don't like to retain God in their knowledge that God gives them over to a reprobate (void of judgement) mind, and they would work those things which are unseemly, men with men, women with women and every form of sexual perversion.
Yes and I must say that the "hindermost" of the nations is about to be judged and burnt with fire. Read Jeremiah 50-51

With respect to the OP...
A few thoughts and ideas if I may?
1. When did man become so power hungry and controlling that he felt the need to legislate what people could do for a living?
2. Is it better that a child should go hungry and starve, or a woman (or man) should lower/humble themselves?
3. If someone isn't hurting someone else, why are we so 'up in arms' about it?
4. Is there really such a thing as victimless crime?
5. Is it not the legislators and self-righteous types, who 'boss everyone around' and lock people up in cages like animals, that are the real criminals in society?
6. Is it right to lock someone up in a cage because they cannot survive financially in the economic slavery system created by the 'masters'?
7. Before we condemn others for their life choices, perhaps we should walk a mile or two in their shoes?
8. When prostitution becomes legal, it is then taxable income. Who profits from the tax revenues?
I have talked to prostitutes while doing street ministry, and I can honestly say that I would not wish their life on anyone. The majority of them that I talked to were really decent women who had children (by fathers who ran out on them), and were 'cast off' by society and had no other way to make ends meet financially. Most of the women I spoke with were also 'condemned' and and showed so little love by the 'churches', that they were either too ashamed to seek help from brothers and sisters, or they wanted nothing to do with them as a whole. Can you blame them?
The welfare system is great in theory but it won't last forever, and if the mark of the beast becomes a reality, what then, take a mark as a prerequisite for welfare/food stamps? There are a lot of women who are escaping from broken homes and abusive situations that have no other options except to beg for a handout from a system that discarded them from birth.
There is one other potential mindset to deal with, which I have witnessed first hand. A woman, once she 'turns her first trick', her self esteem can drop so low that even she may begin to question whether she's capable of anything better or deserves anything more. Hope for a husband of integrity and even desire for real love can vanish.
If there are any women here who have had experience with prostitution (and I'm sure there are), please share your experiences.
And in case any of you were wondering about me...the answer is yes. I'm not proud of it, and it is somewhat embarrassing to say this in a public forum, but I can honestly say that no law stopped me or her, and it was a valuable learning experience.
Laws are nothing more than illusions of morality, security, and control.
Perhaps the first law that should be enacted is...
You shall not turn your back on a person in need.
You'd probably have to lock up 3/4's of humanity though.
Peace and love to you all,
P.

Why are all those "ancient" laws on the books?... Like noahide law...it ain't the 10 commandments for sure. capital punishment(beheading) for worshiping Jesus. Here in America??? yes. check it out...
The more socialist a nation becomes the less free it becomes and the more immoral. Prostitution becoming legal in Canada is a result of it becoming more and more socialist.
The bible is clear, the world is on a slippery slope and the grease is socialism.
1 Samuel 8:10-20 will illustrate what governments will do to you.
Its not evil capitalism that is forcing single women to prostitution. If there were jobs, they would not be forced into crime to support themselves. More welfare=less jobs, always.
When Obamacare steals from Medicare over 27,000 health care workers, I believe in Florida alone, will lose their jobs. Many of which I am sure are women. I wonder how many will move to Canada?
Everyone wants something for free.....but there is always a cost. Compassion, if that's what you can call it, without stewardship causes poverty. Poverty brings crime.
What's really strange is that we have example after example of what liberalism/socialism has done to other countries, and we seem to want that immoral and unsound economic policies to flourish here in the USA.
Ya want elitism and the gap between the rich and poor to increase....? Keep putting socialists in our government.

yeah a strike that comes from the NORTH from thence that burns OUR cities with fire you wouldn't warm at or cook over from under the shadow of a cloud with the tempest of a storm that destroys all of our young men of war (in one hour) who forbear to fight, remain on their bases because our technology fails. The judgement of the daughter of Babylon is lifted up to heavens while causing the earth to undulate and the noise is heard around the world. The strike comes from between the black and Caspian seas at the instigation of Iran, Egypt and Turkey. The main reason is the religion we have spread the last 70 yrs. God is spirit and they that must worship him in spirit and truth John 4.....what we teach and spread...WORSHIP GOD ANYWAY YOU WANT under the banner of democracy. NOTHING BUT CONFUSION (BABEL) AT least 11 full chapters of bible put together teach this...80 characteristics and 10.5 billion to 1 U.S. when you do math.

Re: With respect to the OP...
Pox~I know that a lot of what you say to be true... and while we should not be judging what someone else does to earn a living... God's design for sexual intimacy was not to be a means to live off of! The intimacy of a man and a woman is a union that is not broken without serious damage and pain... thus the lowered self esteem of the woman who engages in even one encounter. However we are called to show the love of Christ to them show compassion and kindness and let them know that God holds forgiveness for their sin just as much as yours, mine, or anyones! I have never been in a situation of choosing to exchange sex for financial gain.. however that is not to say that it hasn't crossed my mind along with the though of other not so pretty means of providing for my children. If you have read my profile you may be able to read between the lines of how a desperate situation may have pushed me to make that decision... along with the conversation with a very trusted friend who while she understands that I feel the need to be totally honest about my job history and being let go from my past two jobs in order to honor God and my faith that He will provide a job for me despite my not so stellar job history.... she also feels that there comes a time when even though it may not be ideal ... children do need to be provided for and how long do you go before allowing your child to go hungry before you resort to desperate means to provide for them. While I know I will never resort to prostitution I can sympathize with their desire to do whatever is necessary to care for their children. I can also relate to the lack of self esteem you have when you cant provide for them... and the feeling that prostitution while not a legal, moral or healthy option~ couldn't possibly make me feel any worse than watching my child stare into my eyes and wonder if we will ever do anything more than barely tread water. Yet all this being said... I still feel that God will bless/honor my choices and he will not allow my children to not be provided for in some way. So I continue in Faith... doing all that I can do to attempt to provide for them trusting that He will not let us down. All In His Timing and Perfect Will. In closing I want to encourage you all to remember that we are also called to love and provide for the widows and children... So what are you doing to show that to those in need? Take care of those who are in need! Whatever you have ... give with a humble and grateful heart and God will return to you immeasurably.
Love In Christ,
Kimmie
